The Habitation and Logistics Outpost (HALO), [4] [5] also called the Minimal Habitation Module (MHM) and formerly known as the Utilization Module, is a habitation module that is part of the Lunar Gateway. [6] It will be built by Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems.
The Lunar I-Hab [3] (formerly known as International Habitation Module, International Habitat or I-HAB) is designed as a habitat module of the Lunar Gateway station, to be built by the European Space Agency (ESA) in collaboration with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, or JAXA.
The module features two docking ports, meaning that once it docks to the HALO module, resupply craft and other vessels can dock to ESPRIT. These can include future propellant tankers to further refuel Gateway if needed. The ERM also features batteries and small surface-mounted solar panels to power the module on its way to the Moon.
NASA awarded a contract of US$331.8 million to launch PPE on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy in 2027 with the HALO module. [44] [56] [1] The Habitation and Logistics Outpost (HALO), [57] [58] also called the Minimal Habitation Module (MHM) and formerly known as the Utilization Module, [59] will be built by Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems (NGIS).
A space habitat (or habitation module) in a basic sense is any facility providing shelter and fulfilling habitational purposes in outer space. It is not to be confused with an extended space settlement , an arrangement of or infrastructure for multiple habitation facilities, in the sense of a space settlement.
The Habitation and Logistics Outpost (HALO), [211] [212] also called the Minimal Habitation Module (MHM) and formerly known as the Utilization Module, [213] will be built by Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems (NGIS). [214] [215] A single Falcon Heavy equipped with an extended fairing [216] will launch the PPE together with the HALO in 2027.
Use of NASA logos, insignia and emblems is restricted per U.S. law 14 CFR 1221.; The NASA website hosts a large number of images from the Soviet/Russian space agency, and other non-American space agencies.
NASA also launched a number of different satellites to study Earth, such as Television Infrared Observation Satellite (TIROS) in 1960, which was the first weather satellite. [30] NASA and the United States Weather Bureau cooperated on future TIROS and the second generation Nimbus program of weather satellites.
