RESEARCH AND DISSEMINATION
Space Economy is a cross-sector and multidisciplinary industry. Incredible new business opportunities are emerging not only for innovative start-ups but also for traditional companies. Mars City is a hub where space construction expertise, space architecture know-how, and space business consulting come together to seize these opportunities.
Mars City aims to become a reference point in the space industry, with a particular focus on space architecture applications and the construction of habitats designed for life in space and for simulating space conditions on Earth. This is a sector that will radically change the economy of planet Earth as never before.
We are a business hub and an end-to-end network spanning the entire supply chain, within which we bring new construction methodologies, space habitat design capabilities, and commercial expertise , to attract the best entrepreneurs and the leading international companies operating in the space sector.
The most pragmatic aspect of the project is the development of strategic and commercial ideas that will give rise to patents and enable the creation of new businesses in space construction, space mobility, and space-related commercial services.
Today in Europe, private leadership in the space industry has not yet been established. It is not too late to take this position, and it is not too early to start. This is the right time.
RESEARCH AND DISSEMINATION
Space Economy and in particular Space Architecture is a cross-sector and multidisciplinary industry. Incredible new business opportunities are emerging not only for innovative and start-up companies but also for traditional companies. Technologies developed for Space activities disrupt traditional market. The Mars City is a hub where research, technology and know-how come together to seize these opportunities.
A Unique Analog environment: The Space Area
The space analogs are the beating heart of the hub. Simulators are available to simulate a manned space mission in a lunar or Martian environment, developed in accordance with the most advanced space habitat construction principles.
Space labs allow companies and institutions to operate under the same physical restrictions as a space station. Mars City provides purpose-built infrastructure, tools, and procedures for testing space-related systems.
Thanks to the presence of living modules, the analogs can host missions lasting from several weeks to several months, covering areas from life support to human factors in confined space environments. Companies and operators can monitor activities through control rooms at the center of the City..
SIMULATORS
Mars Simulator
The Mars analog is composed of a unique dome containing a Mars Station where crews can live and conduct operational activities. A Mars-like regolith area surrounds the station and can be used to test extravehicular activities and robotic vehicle exploration of Martian surface conditirons.
The dome is equipped with systems able to simulate Mars wind and temperature, supporting operational validation of dust and environmental protection solutions.
The Mars Simulator embodies the most advanced principles of space habitat construction, providing an authentic analog environment for testing and operations.
SIMULATORS
Lunar Simulator
The Moon analog provides a pressurized environment with specialized infrastructure for space medicine and life support operational testing, supporting the validation of future medical and health technology solutions for lunar surface missions.
The simulator also includes infrastructure for 3D printing and additive manufacturing validation for Moon exploration applications, and for testing radiation protetcion and space telecommunications solutions.
The Simulator embodies the most advanced principles of space habitat construction, providing an authentic analog environment for testing and commercial operations.
SIMULATORS
Space Laboratories
The cylindrical modules replicate the living and operational conditions of space stations. These habitable units are available for companies and research institutions seeking to validate technologies in a space-analog built environment, covering areas from agriculture to life support systems.
