Leading a project to create a space village, Interstellar Lab announced its merger with Soliquid, a company specializing in 3D printing in suspension.
LUX was invited to discover the double mission of these companies: the industrialization of “biodômes” destined for agriculture and the journey of the latter to the Moon. Interstellar Lab is one of the few companies to work with CNES and NASA at the same time.
Creating a space village to live on the Moon through a system of plugged-in modules is an ambitious dream that develops every day in the premises of Interstellar Lab, starting with the creation of the BioPod. Behind this name hides a 55m2 dome intended to grow plants, fruits, vegetables, whatever the climate in which it is integrated and in an ecological way facilitating the recycling of water.
The entire system is autonomous and evolves thanks to artificial intelligence.
Among the potential clients, we were able to meet pharmaceutical and cosmetic players who are facing the big problem of plant sourcing. By allowing the same climatic and atmospheric conditions to be obtained without natural hazards, BioPod provides a relevant solution for this sector. The agricultural and hotel sectors are also interested in this project.
