Projects related to astronomy, planetary exploration and the New Space economy

You will find here space-related projects we can envisage or develop from mission projects in the field of planetary exploration to long-term missions related to the development of habitats or colonies in outer space or on other worlds of the Solar System.

- The first steps: Developing space stations beyond the low Earth orbit, from higher orbits than the ISS to geostationnary orbits or Lagrange points.

- Creating circum-lunar space stations.

- Creating space factories around the Earth in low-Earth orbit.

- Creating launch pads in outer space in low-Earth orbit.

- Creating research stations on the surface of the Moon.

- Creating factories and launch pads on the surface of the Moon.

- Creating habitats around the factories and the launch pads beneath the surface or on the surface of the Moon.

- Creating space stations around Mars in low-Mars orbit.

- Creating research stations on the surface of Mars.

- Creating launch pads on the surface of Mars

- Creating factories and habitats on the surface or beneath the surface of the Red Planet.

- Developing colonies on the surface or beneath the surface of Mars and harnessing the water ice present in the high latitudes or in the polar areas of the planet.

- Creating research stations on large bodies of the Asteroid Belt like Ceres, Vesta, Pallas or Hygiea.

- Creating launch pads on the surface of large bodies of the Asteroid Belt.

- Creating habitats around the launch pad and the research station on Ceres, Vesta, Pallas or Hygiea.

- Creating orbital stations around Jupiter.

- Creating laboratories, launch pads and habitats on the surface of Europa.
