Captions This little red Swedish cottage has taken off on a trip to its new home – the moon! 🚀 🌕
On 15 January 2025, the Moonhouse – 11 cm in width and 8 cm in height – took off aboard the Resilience lunar lander, which was launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The artist behind the miniature cottage is Swede Mikael Genberg, who is renowned for placing red cottages in unexpected settings. The dream of taking art into space and placing a red cottage with white trim on the moon has been with Genberg for over 25 years.
Genberg’s original idea was a cottage large enough to fit an adult standing inside, but to make the project feasible, Moonhouse had to be scaled down so that it would weigh no more than 100 grammes.
The unmanned mission is run by Japanese space company ispace, with the soft landing on the moon expected in around four months. Once there, with the help of micro rover Tenacious, Moonhouse will be put on the surface of the moon.
🔬 Among ispace’s objectives is to collect samples from the surface of the moon, which will be done with a digger from Swedish company Epiroc, mounted on the rover.
