In an ambitious move blending space science with sustainable innovation, the Faroe Islands Space Program has unveiled a groundbreaking project aimed at tapping into the Moon’s potential as an energy resource-without actually venturing beyond Earth’s atmosphere. By developing advanced lunar simulators and applying cutting-edge photovoltaic technologies, researchers are replicating the Moon’s unique energy environment here on Earth. This initiative not only positions the archipelago at the forefront of green energy research but also opens new avenues for harnessing extraterrestrial conditions to address terrestrial power challenges.

The program’s multidimensional approach focuses on several key innovation drivers, including:
