Common Habitat Design for Microgravity, Artificial Gravity and Partial Gravity in a Safe Haven ConfigurationAs space exploration efforts advance towards the returning to Lunar surface and later to Mars, new challenges emerge, and habitation becomes one of them. Having a custom manufacturing line for deep space transit and surface habitats (the Moon or Mars) implies a longer design and production line. Instead of spending great amounts of money and time on custom designs a common development has been explored where the interior architectural functions can be multifunctional, capable of being adapted into distinct gravity conditions. The concept developed for a common design is capable of being adapted to two (2) different layout configurations for a common habitat in a safe haven design: (#1) a habitat that could be used both as a deep space transport in micro gravity and on Mars surface partial gravity; and (#2) a habitat that could be used both as a deep space transport in artificial gravity and on Mars surface partial gravity. These designs have the potential to diminish manufacturing time and cost, but also reducing crew training time increasing crew adaptability to their habitation and gravity condition.
