CONQUEST

Conquest aims to be a safe haven, self-sustaining, resource-rich environment that provides adequate work-life balance for all users. The main purpose to extract minerals from asteroids forms the core, while all supporting programs split into life and work wrap around it.

THE FORGE

Located on the asteroid belt, an asteroid mining station set in the near future is home to a community of asteroid miners. Our design takes a systematic approach to settlement design at a building and urban scale. We propose an adaptive aggregated system based on complex rules to determine the arrangement of typologies in four dimensional space.

Pangolin can help mining (Leap)

The aim of the project is to design a space habitat for asteroid mining, while we need also a spacecraft as well. This brings us an idea of pulling and extracting mineral materials

EREBUS

The Erebus project conceives the colonization of the asteroid belt by proposing the installation of a habitable orbital station called Erebus and a robotic surface settlement called Hades. The orbital station will be comprised of three toroidal spacecraft that will be relieved one at a time each year and a half, avoiding isolation.

THE HIVE

Mankind stand right over the line of irreversible damage, they are forced into extreme environmental preservation laws and last-minute mitigation. They are now on the brink of catastrophe and in extreme need of resources. By 2032, as Earth's orbit matches Ceres orbit, humankind takes a LEAP of faith.

Frozen Station

Frozen Station is developed from challenges faced by a mining expedition on an Extra terrestrial environment, which is turned to an opportunity in a way that makes living on Ceres safe & sustainable. The term Frozen Colony, refers to the caves carved out of ice beneath the crust.

ORIGIN OF CIVILIZATION

General introduction This design is mainly divided into housing module and mining module, the two can be flexibly assembled. By using reusable rocket technology, the unit modules are transported to space for assembly, and then fly to the asteroid belt.

COLE’S STATION

This station named after visionary American aerospace engineer and futurist – Dandridge MacFarland Cole. In his book ‘Exploring the Secrets of Space: Astronautics for the Layman’ with I. M. Levitt suggested hollowing out an ellipsoidal asteroid about 30 km long, and rotating it about its major axis to simulate gravity.

Ceres Umbrella Mining City

Asteroid mining is not only necessary to supplement the limited resources on earth from other celestial bodies, but also for human migration to the moon and Mars, and even for the expansion to deep space. We believe that the coexistence and cooperation between robots and humans is essential for such asteroid mining. Therefore, we have designed a mining facil

Mining Space Station

We face many challenges in this project, think about Age of Discovery, many people travel to the boundless ocean to find a new world. Today we go into darkness, not just looking wealth, but also keep the human development going.

FAITH V.1.0

A life living for survival might begin soon, human would remember their mistakes in the nature, but "hope" is still alive if we stop destruction and turn it into smarter method. The designed is driving with renewable energy from planets and sun, Including various things for human survival such as energy to produce food, oxygen, to operate machine, etc.

INFINITE TYPING

This project contains 2 modules: the habitat module and the production module, respectively specialized in mining C-type and S/M-type asteroids. These 2 modules will realize the transmission of energy and materials with the help of a linking device. These 3 main devices could achieve iterative proliferation in space based on the prototype of water molecule.

Emergence

Year 2070, location- Deep space Lurking into the space, traveling from planet to planet, and having a job as an asteroid miner is the new normal. Having colonies in space, extracting resources to build new ones is now a space culture. All of this because humanity took a leap in 2032...
