Sebastian Aristotelis, a space architect and modern explorer built a Lenovo-powered habitat and he is about to embark on a three-month moon simulation mission in it.
The moon simulation is created in Moriusaq, in the arctic north of Greenland. According to Lenovo, “the location was chosen because it represents the closest possible match on earth to the inhospitable conditions on the moon.” There are ‘unforgiving winds’ and the temperature is about -30°C.
Sebastian Aristotelis also reveals that they chose Moriusaq because its conditions are similar to the Peak of Eternal Light, a part of the Moon’s South Pole where the first human settlements on the planet is planned for.
This Lenovo-powered habitat is also carefully designed to keep both Sebastian and his partner, Karl-Johan Sørensen, alive for three months. Thus it has sturdy structures that will keep the polar bears out and strong winds out. It also uses a lighting that creates an artificial circadian rhythm, that is; it mimics normal daylight hours.

Additionally, it is made with solar panel skin that maximizes energy generation. Also, the two occupants are armed with a 3D printer. This will allow them print any part of the habitat they need to repair or replace.
A Lenovo-powered IoT guardian, named Odin, will be the brain of the habitat. It will be in charge of sounding alarms in case of difficulties. Lenovo’s Odin is a ThinkCentre M90n Nano and it collects data from 76 sensors. It measures biometric data, humidity, temperature and other vital things.
Sebastian and Karl also have two high-powered Lenovo Thinkpad P53 laptops. Simon Kristensen, is the mission’s CTO and he will serve as the ‘ground control’. He understands the habitat and will be able to provide assistance if they need it.
The goal is far from achieved with the Lenovo-powered habitat. Sebastian believes that this will bolster commercial space travel soon. He says that humans will be travelling to the moon by 2026 or 2027 and they will have a sustainable presence soon on the planet. Thus, habitats like this will likely enable more humans live on the moon as comfortably as possible.
