New Venice Your Address In Space Master Thesis Defense Suzana Bianco May 3rd, 2018 sdbianco@uh.edu
Imagine... It is the year 2070. The existing space economy is thriving. There are many facilities scattered across Cislunar space providing services to space companies. Colonies on the Moon and Mars have been running continuously for at least a decade. Lunar and asteroid ISRU produce enough surplus material to be commercialized. Humans are ready to begin deep space settlement. 01 Art by Robert McCalll
In this context, there is a growing demand for a large space facility where multiple space companies can conduct their activities and ofger their services, establish their market, and settle their workers. This thesis presents one concept for such a facility : New Venice Multi-Industry Space Outpost New Venice is a physical address where companies can explore the space environment . They will be able to lease space on-board without the cost and burden of constructing and launching their own space facilities. The community village ofgers comfortable amenities for the employers and visitors, and is a popular tourist destination. 02 Art by Robert McCalll

Problem statement Problem 1 Problem 2 Problem 3 How to incorporate micro-gravity in comfortable, How to cater to the great diversity of functions and How to change the status quo of space station assembly stimulating living environments, breaking free from uses, each with its unique requirements, restrictions based on chamber-to-chamber/corridor environments? the usual concepts of either adapting Earth to space or and peculiarities without interfering with each other? Humans to machines? 04
