Dron3HeCO2lony is a speculative proposal designed by architecture/visualization studio Omosphe, that changes the generic approach of the Moon as an inert rock, to a satellite with potential for the growth of human life.

With the objective of imagining how would the human race’s colonization of outer space, investigators in the astronomy field have discussed the possibility of establishing ourselves in the Moon thanks to the primordial chemical elements for carbon-based lifeforms on the lunar surface (Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Carbon, and high amount of Helium-3, an important electric generator).
Nonetheless, there are cons to it due to direct exposure to radiation the satellite has because of its lack of a magnetosphere, region where a planet’s magnetic field forms a protective shield against the high-energy-charged particles coming from the Sun.

This is why the challenge for habitability is achieving to generate energy and ensure temperature equilibrium.
This project proposes the creation of a magnetic field that conserves heat and stable temperatures for the generation of similar ecosystems to the terrestrial surface with a flexible architecture that allows evolution through step-by-step evolution.
