Space architects boldy envisage building off-Earth colonies

  The protective mounds of raw regolith surrounding the exterior walls serve to blur the boundary between settlement and lunar landscape. Solar panels rotate atop the regolith domes, catching the eternal sunlight of the South Pole.

Students have been recognised for their off-Earth designs which could accommodate deep-space explorers of the future. The inaugural Australian Space Architecture Challenge (ASAC) was organised by a team from the University of Adelaide’s Andy Thomas Centre for Space Resources (ATCSR).
