FLEXICON

trustworthy shelter for unknown lands


Our technology _ 0ur techn0logy_

Our journey began with one question:

How to survive in unknown?

What would be the first generations of space settlements?

A partly underground housing compartment designed for a self-sustaining lifestyle in harsh environments. It is 3D printed with in-situ excavated materials.

flexicon provides reliable shelter

Starting with parametric design

studying torus shape

- Easily segmented for safety through inflatable seals.

- Provides a natural shape for circulating the interior air.

- Small height to volume ratio for easier covering with regolith for radiation

3D printing

Through additive construction we will pave the way for new solutions.

Antarctica

difficult environment is where we thrive

Why there?

_Closest equivalent to Mars in terms of temperature & isolation

In subzero temperatures, a human could freeze to death in as little as 10-20 minutes  

next step _ nexx st0p

Moon

One giant leap for mankind.

Technology proven on Earth will have to face a new challenge

From 127 to minus 173 Celsius

- High radiation

- Lack of atmosphere

- Meteor shower!

Mars

Final frontier

Our ultimate goal, we want to build the future of all mankind!

Atmosphere 96% CO2 3% N2 – 6mbar.

Radiation dose 240msv/year (10x Earth).

Average temperature -55 degrees Celsius.

Danger! Marsquake!
