Foster + Partners Released Designs of Solar Towers for Moon Use

UK architecture firm Foster + Partners released designs of a solar tower that is for use on the moon as a larger project alongside NASA and 3D printing studio Branch technology. The design features a video of the tower that is paired with a circular cap that goes upwards from the base foundation and expands into the atmosphere as the cord falls below.

The studio shared more on the design, “To develop a sustainable presence on the moon, Mars, and beyond, will require the installation of significant infrastructure, such as power and communications networks. Foster + Partners and Branch Technology are designing and optimising a 50-metre-tall tower, which could support solar panels to enable power infrastructure for the Lunar South Pole.”
