Mission Progress
Track our collective journey from regional research to orbital implementation. Each milestone brings us closer to establishing permanent human presence in orbit.
Phase 1: Global Research Network
Establish regional hubs and begin collaborative arcology research
Phase 2: Digital Twin Development
Create simulation-ready arcology designs from top regional projects
Phase 3: Technology Integration
Merge best technologies from diverse projects into unified specifications
Phase 4: Orbital Adaptation
Adapt Earth arcology designs for orbital environment requirements
Phase 5: Artemis Accords Proposal
Submit comprehensive Orbital Shipyard Arcology proposal to international partners
Overall Progress
Combined development across all 41 global arcology projects

Arcosanti - Arizona, USA
Arcosanti is an experimental "arcology" prototype (a proto-arcology) city located in Mayer, Arizona, founded in 1970 by architect Paolo Soleri. It serves as an urban laboratory focusing on vertical, dense, and sustainable design to reduce ecological footprints. While originally designed for thousands, it has remained a small, working community of roughly 45–100 residents. www.arcosanti.org
Biosphere 2 - Oracle, Arizona, USA
Biosphere 2 advances our understanding of natural and human-made ecosystems through integrated research that drives the discovery and development of interventions that increase the resilience and sustainability of Earth systems and human quality of life. We advance research in our unique facilities, conduct interdisciplinary science education, and foster leadership initiatives focused on developing scalable solutions for our planet and beyond. https://biosphere2.org/

Cosmic Republic Space Shuttle Bus
The Cosmic Republic Space Shuttle Bus provides transport services to Colonies with a Cosmic Republic Aerospace Port
Academy
An Arcology would need to have its own in house Academic Facilities for students from youth to adulthood. The Arcology Academy would provide these types of educational options for elementary to post-graduate learning. Educational Facilities cirriculum would need to be required to teach every subject necessary to maintain a self-sustainable civilization - and that is the target & objective of the Academy & supporting modular facility; the Ark Library & Knowledge Center.
