How do you design, develop and test construction machines to operate in conditions like no place on our planet? You can learn about how we do it in a new article on a very exciting Komatsu project. As part of Japan’s STARDUST* Program, we are researching and developing autonomous construction technologies with the aim of building a base for long-term stays on the moon’s surface. Low gravity, extreme temperatures, and harsh terrain are just some of the challenges we are overcoming step by step. C

the FLEXHab habitat, built for lunar mission training, showcases the power of Autodesk's tools. developed by SAGA space architects for the LUNA simulator, FLEXHab was brought to life using autodesk fusion and revit, enabling a fully integrated design-to-delivery workflow. the software’s cloud-based tools allowed the architects to work with mission-level precision, meet strict compliance standards, and iterate at speed. read more here: https://www.designboom.com/technology/autodesk-fusion-revit-e
