The Space Economy is growing and evolving, together with the development and profound transformation of the space sector and the further integration of space into society and economy. Today, the deployed space infrastructure makes the development of new services possible, which in turn enables new applications, in sectors such as meteorology, energy, telecommunications, insurance, transport, maritime, aviation and urban development leading to additional economic and societal benefits. The space sector is not only a growth sector itself, but is the vital enabler of growth in other sectors.
Based on this background, students and professors from Tsinghua University launched the Space Futurescaping Initiative
We considered three situations of human space activities
Short-term
Focus on the limitations of the cabin environment, and the integrated set products are manufactured and placed in the space capsule
Mid-term
Focus on people’s quality of life and comfortable experience
Long-term
Focus on the future, when humans complete the Mars immigration plan, achieving self-sufficiency in off-planet bases
