Abstract
Environmentally controlled lunar habitats are an open problem the human race needs to solve as we prepare for the next generation of space exploration, with the pursuit of Mars exploration and colonization of other planets’ moons on the horizon. Our proposed lunar habitat will provide controlled levels of vacuum, temperature, and environmental gas. We want to develop recommendations for the size of the habitat, number of humans it can support, and the essential properties of materials necessary for its construction. We are going to build a scaled model that will mimic the environment of the moon and create a habitat that has livable qualities. The ultimate goal of our project is to make recommendations for the development of lunar habitats with limited resources, but with livable conditions and affordable costs.
