Lunark's origami-inspired design makes it easy to transport to space (Credit: SAGA Space Architects) 328 solar panels on the frame help recharge the battery, ensuring uninterrupted power, while an airtight flexible seam protects residents from temperatures as low as -49° F (-45° C) and wind speeds of up to 55 miles an hour. Once the astronauts reach their destination, they can easily unfold the 607-cubic-foot mobile home, which is fitted with a bathroom, living quarters with built-in desks and shelving, and two soundproofed crew cabins. The origami-inspired Lunark, designed by Sebastian Aristotelis and Karl-Johan Sørensen of SAGA Space Architects, comprises a sturdy, but lightweight, aluminum frame that can be efficiently compressed for transport to the Moon. To provide the pioneering scientists - and future space travelers - with a comfortable shelter, two enterprising Dutch architects have built a habitat capable of withstanding the Moon's harsh conditions. NASA's Artemis program not only hopes to land the next man and the first woman on the lunar south pole by 2024 it also expects them to spend up to seven days in the inhospitable environment, collecting samples and conducting experiments.
