According to media, the new facility will support the firm’s research and development on lunar construction and advanced manufacturing divisions.

SpaceFactory said it was committing US$2 million to build the new facility, though did not specify the total cost or construction methods. It was designed by PlanetWorks Architecture, a sister company of SpaceFactory.

Construction is expected to start this year, with a completion target scheduled for next summer.
