- Self-sustaining food production system advances Interstellar
Lab’s mission to support human life sustainably on Earth, the Moon
and Mars by generating and recycling food, water, air
- Interstellar Lab used a virtual twin experience to simulate,
test and optimize the performance of BioPod’s dome and biological
systems
- In the race to explore space, the “Reinvent the Sky”
industry solution experience on the cloud accelerates concept to
certification for disruptive companies
Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA) today
announced that Interstellar Lab, a research company creating
closed-loop controlled environment habitats and biospheres
generating and recycling food, water and air, used the 3DEXPERIENCE
platform on the cloud to efficiently design and develop its first
prototype, BioPod. This controlled environment food production
system advances its mission to build space-ready stations
containing the infrastructure and resources to support human life
sustainably on Earth, the Moon and Mars.

Interstellar Lab used the “Reinvent the Sky” industry solution
experience based on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to seamlessly
collaborate, and rapidly optimize and validate its designs. In one
digital environment providing secure and instant access to the
latest project data from anywhere at any time, team members in
France and the U.S. combined their expertise and used a virtual
twin to simulate and test the performance of BioPod’s structure in
extreme climates, as well as that of its biological systems such as
the optimal levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide and light levels for
plants to grow.
“Climate change is a real emergency for Earth and we only have a
small window to bring about positive change. We are developing a
new framework for sustainable living on Earth and a testbed for
future space missions,” said Barbara Belvisi, Founder and CEO,
Interstellar Lab. “The 3DEXPERIENCE platform enables us to have the
most efficient working processes and avoid reworking designs from
scratch. As we progress to the next stage, the platform’s program
and project management capabilities will be invaluable to us for
storing and retrieving design knowledge and managing the product
lifecycle effectively.”
BioPod is an inflatable dome measuring 6 meters (19.7 feet)
wide, 10 meters (32.8 feet) long and 4.5 meters (14.8 feet) high
that uses composites for the solid technical base and soft plastic
membranes for the main and outer shell. It is designed to
revolutionize food production by combining advanced crop
cultivation technology with predictive monitoring to grow a diverse
array of crops and plants that would not otherwise survive in a
traditional indoor farming setup.
As BioPod evolves, Interstellar Lab will use the virtual twin to
experience and monitor the dome’s operations and maintenance, and
gather data around food production and the environment. The
3DEXPERIENCE platform will also facilitate communication with
suppliers as the company designs future modules and scales up
manufacturing and outsourcing, and enable Interstellar Lab to
create photo-realistic renderings from BioPod’s 3D model, to
communicate its vision.
“Innovators are shaking up traditional industry dynamics in the
race to explore space with new concepts defining the future of
aerospace systems,” said David Ziegler, Vice President, Aerospace
& Defense Industry, Dassault Systèmes. “The 3DEXPERIENCE
platform enables them to integrate technology into product
development and accelerate the product lifecycle from concept to
certification using the same tools that larger companies use,
without the overhead. They can engage in virtual twin experiences
to optimize their ideas, gain critical first-to-market advantage,
and introduce more sustainable ways to live and explore.”
