Space Research and Technology

Overview

The Dedicated Infrastructure and Architecture for Near-Earth Astronautics (DIANA) is a design concept for a self-sustainable lunar village near the de Gerlache crater, on the lunar South Pole, comprising tourists and astronauts alike. The village will be permanently inhabited and will exploit future technologies to achieve independence from Earth resupply missions. This concept focuses on in-situ resource utilization (ISRU), architecture and scientific research.
