Habitats are the cost effective way to house people on the Moon for more than a couple of days. NASA, universities, and private industry have designed habitats to house astronauts for their lunar tour of duty. Designs range from 'campsites' to permanent 'cities' for human development of the Moon. Considering the high cost per round of equipment delivered to the Moon, each pound is questioned and minimized. Beyond the changing, mission-dependent requirements, such as duration, crew size, reusability, mission objectives, many general requirements are semi-constant for the lunar habitat design. Launch vehicle payload envelope, environment, operations, degree of commonality/optimization, radiation protection and support systems (thermal, environmental control, data handling, communications, power structures) affect the habitat design. Habitat design requirements with an emphasis on the semi-constant elements are explored in this paper.
