Description
The long-term presence of human consciousness beyond Earth demands robust, sustainable and expandable extraterrestrial infrastructures. This paper presents the Lumo Habitat concept, a modular hexagonal structure optimized for lunar deployment but adaptable for other celestial bodies such as Mars, Enceladus, or Titan.
Each habitat module features a hexagonal footprint to ensure optimal spatial efficiency and structural stability under lunar conditions. Locally sourced regolith provides thermal and radiological shielding, while internal multilayered material configurations, including water-based shielding layers and polyethylene composites, offer redundancy and adaptability. Integrated ECLSS units (Advanced Closed Loop Systems) recycle CO₂ via the Sabatier process and minimize resource dependency.
The transportation strategy utilizes a Starship-compatible PEZ-dispenser mechanism and autonomous crane-rovers to deploy and position modules precisely, e.g., in sunlit regions such as Shackleton Crater. Energy supply is ensured via high-efficiency triple-junction solar panels.
