DETAILS

The main idea behind the design was to create a habitat that would be as time efficient as possible in its assembly. For this purpose, the sanitary unit was placed in the core of the packed unit, fully installed on Earth. The cupola allows for natural light to enter at the top of the unit and spread primarily through the green house and continues providing natural light across the whole interior. Since the radiation is significantly higher on the Moon compared to Earth, the water tank is placed around the cupola to ensure radiation protection. Prior to securing the habitat with a layer of regolith, the waste management compartment is connected to an outside waste recycle facility underneath the floor of the habitat.

As the habitat expands with time, each of the units could be used as a separate functionality allowing larger spaces, and with that improving the living conditions.
