Lunax is
a rocking chair designed to enhance astronauts’ wellbeing on Moon by using
light.
It is
designed to be placed in Moon Village to carry out the pre-breathing (breathing
pure oxygen) procedure which is necessary to be done before spacewalks. The
capsule makes this procedure more comfortable thanks to the massaging cushions
and relaxing environment designed as a Space Spa. Lunax contains spirulina
algae that contributes to the experience with its green color and high
nutritional values.
Welcoming
moonwalks with tranquillity
To avoid
anxiety before the important moonwalks, Lunax uses low gravity’s advantage to
provide a gentle rocking motion while also offering a comprehensive experience
with a transparent ceiling.
The spirulina
liquid is stirred by the help of rocking motion, and it creates a pleasing
effect of light which is necessary for cultivation.
