ESA Engineers Assess Habitat

The “Moon Village” habitat known as One Moon was developed with an emphasis on technology development goals including structures, environmental protection, crew systems, deployment, and human interfaces. In addition to these goals, we incorporated considerations for requirements such as environmental control and life support systems, power, thermal and extravehicular activities. Together, these systems are meant to function as an integrated habitable unit designed to support and facilitate the crew’s activities. We include in the anticipated design considerations lunar activities that are critical to the advancement of establishing a permanent base and settlement.
