![]() Upon completion, the study will be made public with the goal of inspiring technological developments relating to the long-term and sustainable exploration of the lunar and Martian surfaces. The new MOC will build on the existing partnership by introducing a new study within the ESA’s Concurrent Design Facility to focus on the development of the habitation modules. The site at the South Pole receives near-continuous daylight throughout the lunar year and there are nearby water-ice deposits that could be used to produce breathable air and rocket propellant for transportation and industrial activities. The settlement is designed to withstand the extreme conditions of the lunar environment, with a focus on self-sufficiency and resiliency. Hopple, Jr Show all 5 authors Abstract This poster describes a developed a modular logistics solution for a lunar village that accommodates the diverse and varied needs for a lunar. As the manned missions would likely begin in space agencies have to strive for minimizing the mass of delivered, and a good way to do it is by producing food directly in space or in a habitats. ![]() The habitat would be completely equipped and tested on Earth, before it is erected and inflated. Another important aspect of building a sustainable Moon Village is to provide food for the astronauts. From this context three dedicated topics have been. Architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill has designed a semi-inflatable Moon Village habitat. Moon Village features The Moon Village would feature habitation modules with a rigid composite frame and an inflatable structural shell placed on the rim of the Shackleton Crater. The pressurised, four-level modules would house four to six people and feature environmental controls and life support systems, logistics management and scientific workstations. For a permanently manned outpost on the moon a moon village a first holistic concept of a sustainable material flow has been established. The Moon Village would feature habitation modules with a rigid composite frame and an inflatable structural shell placed on the rim of the Shackleton Crater. Since 2018, SOM and the ESA have been working with faculty at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to develop the concept of a Moon Village, a large-scale, integrated development envisioned near the lunar South Pole.
