Main goals
-
Saving the Earth’s biosphere by restoring the conditions created by nature for a healthy life
-
Preserving the growth of technocratic civilization without harming all life on the planet
New forms of environmentally friendly housing and cities will appear on planet Earth
-
Linear cities, harmoniously combining with nature
The first will be the equatorial linear city, the basis of which will be EcoHouses and environmentally friendly UST transport
-
EcoCosmoHouses with enclosed autonomous ecosystems
After successful tests on Earth, proven technologies will be used to organize the life of people working in space
Reviving Earth and Expanding into Space
As Earth’s natural environment begins to recover, natural ecosystems can be created in space—on asteroids and other celestial bodies—to ensure comfortable living and working conditions for humans. However, Earth will always remain humanity’s primary home.
A systematic approach and consistent actions will transform space into a zone of continuous human activity while allowing Earth’s biosphere to regenerate
On Earth
Equatorial Linear City
The Earth component of the geocosmic transport communication system where the General Planetary Vechicle launch overpass (uWay) is positioned together with infrastructure necessary to perform the GPV flights and maintain global geocosmic cargo and passengers’ transportations.
The Equatorial Linear City is the cluster settlements harmoniously fit in natural environment of the planet land and ocean areas which are interconnected with each other by UST routes and located on a strip along the equator

When a linear cluster-type city is built along the GPV launch overpass, the population of equatorial countries will move to the created ecologically clean zone.
This will increase safety and quality of life, save resources, increase investment, and tourist attractiveness of this territory
EcoHouse
EcoHouse technological platform is ecologically oriented construction of Earth-based accommodation and industrial buildings with surrounding grounds open for external natural (biospheric) environment and filled with natural and cultural (organic farming) ecosystems where atmospheric, soil, and water parameters are self-regulated
The soil from under the buildings is transferred to their roofs and floors and then it is enriched with live humus.
This landscaping is performed under the principle of “Any building on the planet should increase areas of fertile soil and boost its productivity”
EcoCosmoHouse on planet Earth
The ECH-Earth is an earth construction intended for autonomous and timely unlimited being of the human colony of calculated number of inhabitants that provides conditions for ecosystems’ development inside thereof and a range of required biospheric features, as well as being used to simulate additional technological processes to meet the human vital needs (parameters of atmosphere and environment, food resources, etc.). The ECH-Earth is a terrestrial biospheric model of the cosmic ECH regarding arrangement of inner space and all the relevant components (biosphere, technology, processes’ correlation, etc.) together with enclosed circulation of the substance (living and mineral matters), energy, and information
A Terrestrial Prototype of Space Ecosystems
The ECH-Earth is a terrestrial biosphere model of the space ECH in terms of creation and organization of internal space and all relevant components (such as biosphere, technologies, interconnections of processes, etc.) with a closed cycle of matter (living and mineral), energy, and information

Psychological and social comfort
The project includes areas for physical activity and recreation.
Health
In the ECH-Earth the use of chemicals that harm the ecosystem and living organisms is not allowed.
Only natural biological methods of combating diseases of animals and plants are provided
The ECH-Earth technologies are relevant in places where the natural external environment of the planet is distinguished by environmental pollution or harsh natural and climatic conditions (for example, in Antarctica or deserts), when there is need for staying in underwater or underground spaces, as well as for solving research problems those related to support of human in space
In outer space
The industry created in space for the benefit of humankind should also be serviced by people despite automation and robotization, albeit in a limited number compared to those required by technologies on Earth.
Therefore, it will be necessary to create the EcoCosmoHouses in orbit
EcoCosmoHouse technological platform
ECH is a construction of space facilities with inner habitable area isolated from external aggressive space environment.
There is an enclosed ecosystem of earth type inside the ECH that includes artificially generated gravity, live fertile soil, flora and fauna (including microflora and microfauna), and atmosphere with controlled parameters (temperature, humidity, etc.) for autonomous eco comfortable accommodation and working of individuals and groups of specialists, as well as thousands of settlements on equatorial orbits of the planet and in near and deep space during unlimited period of time.
Thus, a person will be able to live in space in familiar and healthy environment, which, in turn, will have a positive effect on their work and result in the effective development of space industry in general
On asteroids and other planets
Exploration of the Moon, Mars and asteroids for future production
Technologies are developing so rapidly nowadays that the once seemingly unfavorable environment of the solar system’s celestial bodies is considered a quite suitable site today, especially if it’s not about its settlement, but about its use for industrialization.
First of all, it is important to consider space objects being actively studied, such as the Earth’s satellite Moon, the planet Mars, and asteroids. Each of them has a number of features and, most importantly, advantages for earthlings.
Moon
-
The cosmic body closest to Earth
-
The only natural satellite of the Earth
-
The object in the solar system that is second in brightness only to Sun
-
The only space object humans have set foot on

Most of the gases (such as nitrogen, helium, argon, neon, ammonia, methane, carbon dioxide) rising from surface dissipate in space
Minerals
The greatest value is helium-3, which is rare on Earth. The element can be used as ecofuel for power plants. Hypothetically, thermonuclear fusion (1 ton of helium-3 and 0.67 ton of deuterium) releases energy equivalent to the combustion of 15 million tons of oil
Mars
The fourth planet from the Sun and the last of the terrestrial planets

Asteroids
There are 3 known groups of asteroids — Apollo, Aten and Atira asteroids, which are closer to Earth than to Mars in most of their orbit
Apollos
Orbits cross the Earth’s orbit from the outside.
They mostly move between the orbits of the Earth and Mars
Atens
Orbits cross the Earth’s orbit from the inside.
They mostly move between the orbits of the Earth and Venus
Atiras
Orbits are completely inside the orbit of the Earth.
They move between the orbits of the Earth and Venus all the time

Minerals
Among the total number of asteroids in the solar system, about 75 % of the “water” ones store large reserves of water.
Rock-metal asteroids contain iron, nickel, cobalt, gold, platinum, rhodium, rare earth metals, silicates, ammonia, etc.
Asteroids as a resource for future space development
The use of asteroids potential will undoubtedly bring benefits and help to reach a higher-quality stage in human development as well as to open up a wide range of opportunities. The construction of the GPV and ISN “Orbit”, that will become a launching pad for deep space exploration, would help to achieve these prospects.
At the same time, it is important to note that the best place for a healthy and fulfilling human life is planet Earth
