UK architecture studio Foster + Partners has released designs of a solar panel-lined tower for use on the moon as part of a project with NASA and 3D printing studio Branch Technology.
The design includes a video of the solar tower with a circular cap rising upwards from a base, expanding into the atmosphere while cord-like scaffolding extends below.
Once the tower is fully extended, sail-like arrays of solar panels would unfold outwards and flip downwards. Renders show multiple towers distributed between structures on the moon’s surface.
