A Multiphase Operational and Environmental Assessment of Lunar Surface Habitation, Lunar Gateway Transit Systems, and Acceleration Pathways for Sustained Human Habitation of the Martian Surface

Enrolling by invitation

Conditions studied: Extraterrestrial Habitation Systems, Lunar Surface Habitation, Lunar Water-Ice Resource Assessment, In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU), Lunar Gateway Transit Architecture, Martian Surface Habitation Readiness, Environmental Control and Life-Support Systems (ECLSS), Radiation Exposure Modeling, EVA Logistics and Mobility, Long-Duration Isolation and Behavioral Stability

In brief

This study evaluates the operational, environmental, and habitation-system requirements for sustained human presence on the lunar surface, the performance of the Lunar Gateway as a transit and staging architecture, and the pathways required to accelerate readiness for Martian surface habitation. The protocol examines habitat resilience, radiation exposure modeling, life-support continuity, EVA logistics, behavioral health in isolated environments, and systems-engineering workflows across lunar, transit, and Mars-analog environments. Special emphasis is placed on the identification, extraction, processing, and utilization of lunar water-ice deposits as a critical resource for life-support, radiation shielding, and in-situ propellant production. Findings will inform future mission design, habitation module development, and interplanetary operational frameworks.
