In 2020, SAGA Space Architects began an expedition for three months in the Northern part of Greenland: a corner of the world that is both desolate, uninhabited and extreme – similar to the conditions on the Moon.

The SAGA team was on a quest to find out what it takes to live comfortably in space, on a simulated Moon mission, for several months in a row.

The expedition was part of a study, to find out how the human body and mind is affected under extreme conditions. Light was one of the key parameters used to measure well-being. Louis Poulsen designed a light panel, programmed to mimic changing daylight throughout 24 hours.

Meet SAGA Space Architects, Professor Dr. Marc Fontoynont and other inspiring experts.
