“What does it take to live on the moon?” That was the question put forward by Sebastian Aristotelis and Karl-Johan Sørensen, the founders of SAGA Space Architects and the analog astronauts behind Lunark, a prototype moon habitat. Designed in collaboration with scientists, engineers and polar experts, Lunark will be tested over three months in northern Greenland as part of the first Arctic-simulated moon mission. In addition to its resilience to extreme temperatures, the habitat will be engineered for a zero-waste ecosystem and will draw power from solar panels.[...]

The Andlinger Center is hosting a virtual event featuring Bernard Bigot of The ITER Organization. Bigot is the director-general of the 35-country scientific collaboration known as ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) tasked to build a 500-megawatt fusion plant in southern France. This project is slated to be the first fusion experiment to produce more energy than it consumes. PPPL is an active collaborator on the project, and physicist Egemen Kolemen is the seminar’s host.   Bigot is based in France and will Zoom to an international audience 12pm EST/4pm GMT. This seminar is an example of Princeton convening leadership at the highest levels, specifically around energy and environmental issues and solutions. Fusion is seen as a potential source of limitless energy, and Bigot will discuss how ITER puts fusion on a pathway to commercialization, and the advances and challenges with the project. The talk may appeal to those interested in renewable energy, environmental studies, and climate change.  Registration is required. https://acee.princeton.edu/acee-news/virtual-highlight-seminar-series-bernard-bigot-iter/ Sponsored by The Andlinger Center for Energy & the Environment, Princeton University
