Have you ever dreamed of becoming an astronaut? Do you love space and watch every new mission to Mars? You’ve seen the moon a hundred times through a telescope, but you’ve even never dreamed of being on it?

There is a chance! In this project you can become an astronaut on the first moon base in human history. You can drive a rover, do some jobs with drilling devices, figure out how solar panels work and walk on the moon surface.

The first in human history fully operational lunar base could be built on the surface of the Moon by 2038. In this VR glimpse into the future, you will see how it might look and find out what kinds of jobs the cosmonaut living there will perform.

The project is based on preliminary research by NASA, Roscosmos, the European Space Agency, as well as input by researchers and experts.
