facilities. Additionally, inflatables can be easily expanded or reconfigured as needed, offering

adaptability for evolving mission requirements and long-term lunar settlements. Overall,
inflatables present a promising and practical approach to sustainable lunar habitation,

leveraging the benefits of lightweight construction and modular design to support human
exploration and colonization of the Moon.

This can be worked with a combination of mechanical joints where it acts a constraint for the

inflatable material in the lunar surface forming a shell-like structure.
