Spatial configuration
Ground floor:
The ground floor includes private spaces for four astronauts, such as individual crew quarters,
a lounge, bathroom, and a flexible health lab/medical station. Additionally, the hatch on this
level serves as an entry point to the pressurized rover and doubles as an emergency exit.
Second floor:
The second floor houses a section for communication and mission control tasks, a restroom, a
rack space for Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) equipment, and a
workout area. This predominantly public floor is equipped with two airlocks for connecting to
other modules like the lab or logistics area.
Third floor:
The habitat includes a galley, communal recreation area, kitchen, storage, and an aeroponic
garden that extends to the second level. The top floor is versatile, transitioning from a public
gathering space to a private observation and reflection area.
