Abstract:
No human has walked on the Moon since 1972 but this could change within a few years. A number of government and private entities are also targeting a settlement on the Moon by 2030, in line with the goals of Artemis. In contrast to the Apollo missions, men and women from all over the world with a variety of cultural and social backgrounds will become the next ‘Moonwalkers’. They will live and work in an extreme and isolated environment for much longer periods than the Apollo astronauts, so the architectural design and formulation of the habitat is key for mission success along with physical and mental health.
During 2021/22, a cross-national, collaborative design project called ‘Lunar Oasis - Architectural Visions for an Integrated Habitat’, was initiated by Dr Sandra Häuplik-Meusburger of TU Wien and Dr Paolo Caratelli of Abu Dhabi University as board members of AIAA-SATC (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Space Architecture Technical Committee). A total of 60 students attended the online Lunar Oasis Design Workshop, which ran from 30 August to 22 November 2021, and the final presentation took place at the World Expo in Dubai, UAE.
