OVERVIEW
In this new online course you will learn about the development strategies and design challenges of locating and building lunar habitats. Space Architects will present material on how the transportation system, site selection, and environmental factors influence the shape, size, and growth of lunar bases.
The emphasis will be on designing for human occupation of our closest neighbor. There will be a discussion of different approaches to site improvement, proximity to landing zones, solar and nuclear electrical power options, and radiation protection. Furthermore, the architectural accommodations for EVA and rovers will be presented.
This course will offer methods of integrating, maintaining, and upgrading habitat subsystems. Each of the subsystems will be described with particular focus on the Environmental Control Life Support system, Crew Systems, and Health Maintenance systems. In addition, studies and design concepts for accommodating human factors in lunar gravity will be presented. In order to sustain habitat operations, the approaches for logistic resupply and crew rotation will be discussed.
