| | |  Artist's concept of a base on Callisto, drawing by NASA NASA performed a study called HOPE (Revolutionary Concepts for Human Outer Planet Exploration) regarding the future exploration of the solar system.[1] The target chosen was Callisto, a moon of Jupiter. It could be possible to build a surface base that would produce fuel for further exploration of the solar system. Since it is outside of Jupiter's radiation belt and also geologically very stable, it could prove to be a suitable place for a base. This base would also be a centre for exploration of the Jovian system, for example remote exploration of Europa. It would also be the ideal location for a Jovian system way station that could service spacecraft headed farther into the outer Solar System, using a gravity assist from a close fly-by of Jupiter after departing Callisto.[citation needed] Artists conception of a space habitat called the Stanford torus, by Don Davis Space colonization, also called space settlement and space humanization, is the hypothetical permanent autonomous (self-sufficient) human habitation of locations outside Earth. ...
