Resources in Space

February 14, 2016

The initial inspiration for the Dune Stations comes from the development of "Barchan Dunes" on Mars. Because the Power Stations are located in areas with high wind speed, the dunes are a perfect analogue for living. The only requirements are an in-situ wall and a packaged inflatable - the dust and regolith does the rest. The Stations are a part of an intra-planetary resource network, which is in turn part of an inter-planetary network with Earth.
