lunar research habitat

A lunar research habitat is a specialized, self-contained environment designed for scientists and explorers to live and work on the Moon. It provides life support systems such as oxygen, water recycling, and temperature control, allowing occupants to conduct experiments and explore lunar conditions safely. These habitats are built with durable materials to withstand harsh radiation, extreme temperatures, and micrometeoroid impacts. Their purpose is to support long-term scientific missions, advance our understanding of lunar geology, and prepare for future human exploration of deeper space.
