Habitation

• Habitation modules provide critical living space and life support functions

• Habitation capability will evolve from small to large modules, from shorter duration cislunar missions to longer duration Mars missions

• Habitation modules have a long legacy and are in use today on ISS.

• Habitation technologies will be one of the cornerstones of future deep space exploration.
