Explore The Project
ArchiSpace aims to design and test prototypes of human infrastructure for sustainable lunar and Martian settlements, prioritizing astronaut safety and well-being in hostile extraterrestrial environments. By bridging geology/space sciences and architecture/space architecture, the project uses planetary analogues to define design constraints and develop low-impact, cost-effective solutions incorporating ISRU materials. Through international collaboration and field testing, ArchiSpace pioneers interdisciplinary research and innovation, setting standards for future space habitats while contributing to Europe’s scientific and economic growth.

This study investigates four key lunar regions (Aristarchus, Malapert, Mare Tranquillitatis, and Leibnitz Crater) using Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M³) data to characterize mineralogical heterogeneity and identify In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) potential. The results provide valuable insights for sustainable lunar exploration and future mission planning.![]()

This work presents the interdisciplinary approach of ArchiSpace to design and prototype architectural subsystems (foundations, floors, walls, roofs) and a 3D virtual habitat, developed and validated through terrestrial analogue environments. The goal is to define standards, methods, and sustainable solutions for future human settlements on the Moon and Mars.![]()
