People Could Live in Rotating Cones On the Moon or Mars in the Future

Japanese researchers believe the artificial gravity structure can make off-world living plausible

Rotational forces can create artificial gravity suitable for human growth, at least in theory.
Kyoto University and Kajima Corporation believe a 1,300-foot-tall cone-shaped structure offers the ideal shape for artificial gravity.
The team plans to spend over 100 years designing options for using this habitat on both Mars and the moon.
The concept of using rotational force to generate artificial gravity for space habitats has been floating around since NASA called it theoretically viable in the 1960s. Now Japanese researchers hope to spend the next century building out that theory with cone-shaped contraptions that make living on either the moon or Mars gravitationally possible.
The partnership between Kyoto University and Kajima Corporation aims to create a scaled-down prototype that uses rotational forces to craft artificial gravity for a moon facility by 2050. The team plans to spend the next 100-plus years working out living conditions on the moon and Mars—and a delivery method to get folks to space.
“We propose that artificial gravity living facility is regarded as the core technology for human beings to advance into space,” the team says in a news release.

The structure, dubbed “The Glass,” uses the widely held theory that rotational forces placed on a structure can generate similar gravitational forces as happen on Earth. Anyone who’s almost lost their lunch inside the Gravitron ride at their local amusement park stop knows the basics behind the plan and the spin-inducing trick behind making this work.
The smaller the object, the faster the rotation. In the Japanese proposal, The Glass structure resembles a cone stretching 1,300 feet tall. At this size, the centrifugal force achieved through rotation to mimic Earth’s gravity sufficiently requires a full rotation of the living structure every 20 seconds. The concept is not far off from the O’Neill cylinder in the how-to space book, The High Frontier: Human Colonies in Space. Hopefully, that’s fast enough to create a gravitational pull within the facility, but not so fast that it makes living unbearable.
