Pioneering Humanity's Edge Closest to the Sun
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and one of the most geologically fascinating. It offers unique opportunities for harvesting solar energy and studying planetary formation. Its polar regions may even contain frozen water in shadowed craters.
We plan to establish research and energy collection stations in Mercury's polar regions. These bases will support long-term scientific exploration and demonstrate survival in extreme space environments.
Colonists will live in underground or crater-shielded habitats to avoid lethal solar radiation and temperature extremes. Rotating crews and autonomous systems will sustain life, supported by nuclear-powered life support and robotics.
Solar energy harvesting, radiation-hardened AI, regolith-based shielding, and robotic construction are key. We’re designing habitats to withstand Mercury’s searing days and freezing nights with advanced insulation and power storage systems.
