Project “Lunark Habitat”

A danish design company called SAGA Space Architects has developed an origami-like folding structure for space habitation. Designed for two astronauts, the exterior is composed of an aluminum frame layered with solar cells”, while the interior has living quarters with desks and shelves. The designers, Sebastian Aristotelis and Karl-Johan Sorensen will test the facility this fall in arctic conditions for three months in Greenland.
