Kyoto University and Kajima Corp are collaborating to build a prototype of a moon habitat that will generate artificial gravity using rotation. This technology aims to mitigate the health risks associated with long-term exposure to microgravity.

A university in Japan is collaborating with a leading construction company to develop a moon habitat capable of generating artificial gravity, allowing humans to live on the moon in a condition resembling Earth, according to Kyodo News. Kyoto University and Kajima Corp plan to build a ground prototype of the parabolic structure known as ‘Neo Lunar Glass’, which produces gravity through rotation, by the 2030s.

The technology is expected to address the adverse effects of long-term exposure to microgravity on the human body, including bone and muscle loss. “This project requires a major technological leap, but we are determined to achieve it and pave the way for the establishment of space colonies,” said team member, Prof. Yosuke Yamashiki from the Advanced Integration Research Center for Human Sustainability, Kyoto University. The Lunar Glass structure is expected to have a diameter of 200 meters and a height of 400 meters, with a capacity to accommodate up to 10,000 inhabitants. The project, which began in the current fiscal year, will first identify challenges through computer models and simulations. Earlier this month, Kyoto University and Kajima unveiled a 1:2000 scale model as a sign of the official start of the joint research. They also conducted simulations to demonstrate the behavior of objects under artificial gravity, a key component of this endeavor
