The Neo Lunar Glass project envisages the construction of a parabolic structure with a height of 400 meters and a diameter of 200 meters.
It will mimic the conditions on Earth by rotating motion, which will generate artificial gravity. Completion of the ground prototype is planned for 2030, an important step towards human habitation on the Moon.
The project requires substantial technological investments and innovations, but the developers are confident in its success. Creating Earth-like gravity will prevent health problems, such as bone and muscle loss, characteristic of low gravity. The complex will be able to accommodate up to 10,000 inhabitants and will provide them with comfortable living conditions on the Moon.
Work on the project began this financial year, by making computer models and scale prototypes. The prototype was made at a scale of 1:2000. The technology used in the project is unique and has no analogues in other countries.
Japan is developing programs to explore the moon in several directions. For example, Toyota Motor Company is working on lunar vehicles for satellite exploration, while other corporations are developing technologies for lunar infrastructure.
