(DSM) has been provided in (Li, 2023). The DSM can identify the interfaces in the lunar habitat
system that are required based on pertinent variables and procedures at the interface. In the
current study, an initial activity-based DSM is built by breaking down the lunar habitat design
process. To elucidate the informational interactions among the four dimensions of energy,
space, materials, and information, a statistical analysis is conducted on each design task and its
corresponding intensity. The design process is optimized by the use of a sequencing algorithm.
Ultimately, four phases pre-planning, spatial design, environmental design, and optimization

are used to separate the twenty design tasks of the lunar habitat design. In order to increase
design efficiency, related disciplines should collaborate during the design process based on the
optimization results. They should also use the optimized task coupling connection to construct
the requirement and design models in a systematic way.
The Alcatel Alenia Space "Lunar Exploration Architecture" study (Gruber, 2007) for the
European Space Agency included the study "Lunar exploration architecture—deployable
structures for a lunar base." The study's objectives were to explore bionic ideas that may be
used to deployable structures and to analyze the results in order to provide suggestions for
potential implementation. The goal of the study was to identify novel deployment alternatives.
Using models, sketches, and visualizations, possible geometries were created and investigated
by applying folding/unfolding principles found in nature. For these conceptual approaches, the
utilization of materials, joints between structural elements, and construction details were
examined. To determine the technical and environmental parameters that acted as design
drivers, reference scenarios were employed. Six designs were selected after mechanical
problems and deployment process research were taken into consideration.
Space scientists were given a $5 billion development budget in 2014 and asked to come up
with plans that would allow ten people to live on the moon for a year by the year 2022. This
was to be carried out in a way that would reduce the need for replenishing Earthly consumables
and result in a permanent lunar settlement of one hundred individuals in ten years. Life support
consumables must be recycled rather than continuously supplied from Earth in order to support
small communities on the Moon within this budget (Harper, 2016). The International Space
Station (ISS) offers evidence of the current availability of these technologies. Physicochemical
regeneration of air and water on the International Space Station (ISS) lowers the resupply of
