First Lunar Outpost: Lunar habitat concepts and issues

Information is given in viewgraph form on concepts and issues relative to the lunar habitat of the First Lunar Outpost (FLO). The initial design is for a mission capability for a group of four on a lunar stay of 45 days (lunar day-night-day). Existing hardware is used where practical. The specific goals include reuse every six months, provision of solar flare protection, manned extravehicular activities, operation anywhere on the lunar surface, access to all hardware to provide for infinite life, and a design that allows for growth.
