LADE: a mobile habitat paving the way for sustained lunar exploration
Since Apollo missions, robotic exploration of deep space has seen decades of technological advancement and scientific discoveries. Today, NASA’s Artemis Program is envisioning a plan to drive humanity to live on the Moon. Indeed, the possibility of building a permanent settlement on the Moon is stil...

Since Apollo missions, robotic exploration of deep space has seen decades of technological advancement and scientific discoveries. Today, NASA’s Artemis Program is envisioning a plan to drive humanity to live on the Moon. Indeed, the possibility of building a permanent settlement on the Moon is still a major challenge. In this framework, Alta Scuola Politecnica and Thales Alenia Space partnered to design a novel agile habitat through a holistic multidisciplinary approach to allow crewed surface exploration missions. Lunar Architecture Design Exploration (LADE) project’s output is a mobile space architecture system that enables human presence on the Moon, allowing medium to long-term missions. This module is the key movable part to build a more complex system of hybrid class II and class III shelters that aim at the construction of a lunar village. The goal of the design effort is to allow the permanence of four astronauts on the South Pole of the Moon, next to Shackleton crater. The location is strategic for surface exploration goals and provides favorable environmental conditions for a future permanent settlement. To achieve this, a combination between a mobile habitat and a network of robotically constructed shelters will be necessary. The design of both systems aims at satisfying all habitability and mobility requirements in the harsh and extreme lunar environment while exploiting ISRU, through the demonstration of 3D printing capabilities for micrometeoroids and radiation shielding purposes. The presence of a sheltering system concurs with a series of minimum infrastructure requirements, which can be reached through a first robotic mission.
