The Lunar Gateway, or simply Gateway, is a space station which is planned to be assembled in orbit around the Moon. The Gateway is intended to serve as a communication hub, science laboratory, and habitation module for astronauts as part of the Artemis program .
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.
In July 2019, NASA decided to sole source its design for the Minimal Habitation Module of the Lunar Gateway to Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems. [ 10 ] [ 11 ] The motivation to sole source was based on NASA's assessment that Northrop were the only existing NextSTEP-2 contractor with the designs and production capabilities to meet the module ...
The design and development must center on safeguarding astronauts from radiation exposure and the extreme cold of the lunar nights. First stop to the Moon and Mars: An orbiting space station
The European System Providing Refueling Infrastructure and Telecommunications (ESPRIT) is an under construction module of the Lunar Gateway. [1] It will provide refueling through additional xenon and hydrazine capacity for use in the Power and Propulsion Element 's ion engines and hydrazine thrusters.
Lunar Gateway ← ESPRIT The Crew and Science Airlock Module is designed as an airlock module of the Lunar Gateway station, to be built by the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre .
Since 2012, numerous iterations of large lunar and Mars transport habitats have been conceived in previous studies to be launched with the Space Launch System (SLS), [2] [3] and are intended to also be compatible with the Orion capsule. Variations of the designs would be used for the Lunar Gateway and the Deep Space Transport. [2]
A design pattern is the re-usable form of a solution to a design problem. The idea was introduced by the architect Christopher Alexander [ 1 ] and has been adapted for various other disciplines, particularly software engineering .
