Genesis II: Advanced Lunar Outpost

Abstract

Sponsored by NASA/Universities Space Research Association, this study investigated advanced lunar habitats for 11 astronauts and mission specialists for durations of 20 months. Design recommendations are based on environmental response to the harsh lunar environment, human habitability, transportability, constructability, resilience and suitability for NASA lunar research missions in the early 21st century. Drawings include master plans, construction sequencing, detailed floor plans, sections, interior perspectives and construction details.
