Space1 Universal Station Dome

Concept: Space1 future city protective domes
Space1 introduces the Universal Station Dome, a design to deploy over an existing city on a solar system planet to keep out toxic atmosphere. The USD will first be deployed over Earth-based cities to protect inhabitants against the Earth's toxic atmosphere which is not suitable for breathing by the year 2290.

USDs are deployable on solar system moons for the proliferation of colonization of the human species throughout the solar system. USDs are also suitable for long range space exploration and colonization within the Milky Way Galaxy.

Space1 Universal Dome Station Hard Shell

Space1 introduces the Universal Dome Station Non-Transparent Hard Shell or HS. The deployed HS is non-transparent and designed to resist the impact of micro-meteors and incoming space debri while keeping toxic atmospheres out of the dome. The HS, expected to deploy first on the Earth by 2150 or 2200, is typically erected on planets and planetoids with no or relatively thin atmospheres such as the Moon and Mars. It is also designed to keep out poisonous and toxic atmosphere, such as the air that will likely exist in the projected year 2050 and 2080 on Earth. The HS can also be erected on flat slabs floating in outer space for colonization extensions CEs. CEs are important in the case of total Earth annihilation by an incoming disaster asteroid that would have the capability to wipe out human civilization.

Space1 Dome City

Space1 is examining various designs for domed cities for future habitation in the colonization of space and planets.

A domed city is a rapidly developing concept for Space1 in 2017. Domed cities could be deployed throughout the solar system by the year 2500. For example, even now, new private space industry startups such as Bigelow Aerospace are already developing space habitats made of flexible and inflatable material. It's just a matter of using transparent material on spherical shaped versions to extend the concepts of these early habitats. Another concept uses a spherical structure with replaceable window inserts as seen in the illustration.

Space1 Lunar Outpost


Space1 has long range goals of providing tourism to the Moon and a Lunar Outpost. Typical depictions of lunar domes would be different, probably below the lunar soil to help avoid solar radiation. The Moon does not have a thick enough atmosphere to protect from damaging solar wind and cosmic radiation, or incoming meteors and asteroids. The skin on a dome or craft likewise cannot fully stop DNA damaging radiation and the thickness of several feet of lunar soil or water is required for protection. The Moon will need a space weather monitoring system to keep tabs on solar activity and celestial events as astronauts work on the surface and operate heavy mining equipment, and likely service machinery and robots. For now, S1 is designing outposts in space where space tourists may visit, and the rockets to go there. Tourist rockets have a safety design to protect tourists, opening up space flight to everyone in ways never seen before.
