Towards Realization of Human Activity on the Moon | RADIANT | Ritsumeikan University
Space development has three phases. Phase one focuses on the scientific observation and exploration, phase two comprises the building and maintenance of the humanosphere, and phase three concentrates on building a living environment and the realization of a worthwhile life. We are mainly focused on phase two. Several places on the Earth and in space are uninhabitable by humans. Our goal is to explore these uncharted areas and make them habitable for humans. Professor Taizo Kobayashi, Associate Professor Atsushi Kakogawa, and Associate Professor Yuma Kawasaki of the College of Science and Engineering have been working on unmanned construction technology to build the infrastructure essential for human survival, including the first lunar base on the Moon’s surface.
