Lunar habitation is any human habitation on the Moon. [1] . Lunar habitation is provided by surface habitats, possibly as part of a moonbase. [2] History. Lunar habitats have been designed for many different proposed moonbases .
Apr 2, 2020 · A lunar terrain vehicle or LTV, would transport crew around the landing zone. The habitable mobility platform would enable crews to take trips across the Moon lasting up to 45 days. A lunar foundation surface habitat would house as many as four crew members on shorter surface stays.

To house and support the crew, NASA is exploring the use of a lunar Surface Habitat. NASA relies on conceptual spacecraft design to assist in planning and mission analysis. A crucial component of this habitation design is the internal layout: the interior location of systems, workstations, crew quarters, etc.
The Surface Habitat is the current concept in consideration to serve as this initial surface habitat that will extend the crew mission durations. It will provide 30-to-60-day habitability for a crew of up to four allowing for the astronauts to explore farther and longer on each visit to the lunar surface.

Dec 1, 2017 · The lunar dust poses a carcinogenic hazard, as well as an existential threat to engineered systems. Structures need to be designed with an eye to the psychological wellbeing of the inhabitants. This review provides an introduction into some of these aspects of lunar habitat design, and is based on the 2018 book by the author.
