The Salyut 1 space station in low Earth orbit was the first human outpost in space. The International Space Station and Tiangong space station are the two functional human outposts in space, after China de-orbited its Tiangong-2 in 2019.
The outpost would have been supplied by a mixed crew and cargo Altair lander, capable of bringing four astronauts and a payload of six tons to the Moon's surface. As planned, an incremental buildup would begin with four-person crews making several seven-day visits to the moon until their power supplies, rovers and living quarters were operational.
A moonbase (or lunar base) is a human outpost on or below the surface of the Moon. [1] More than a mere site of activity or temporary camp, moonbases are extraterrestrial bases, supporting robotic or human activity, by providing surface infrastructure.
Human presence throughout the Solar System is continued by different contemporary and future missions, most of them mediating human presence through robotic spaceflight. First a realized project of the Soviet Union and followed in competition by the United States , human presence in space is now an increasingly international and commercial field.
Extraterrestrial settlement can be any type of permanent habitation outside of Earth, beyond its space boundary, such as: . Space settlement. Orbital space station; Cycler ...
Therefore a human outpost, while possibly a space habitat or even a space settlement, does not automatically constitute a space colony. [23] Therefore any basing can be part of colonization, while colonization can be understood as a process that is open to more claims, beyond basing.
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.
Border outpost, an outpost maintained by a sovereign state on its border, usually one of a series placed at regular intervals, to watch over and safeguard its border with a neighboring state Human outpost , an artificially-created, controlled human habitat located in an environment inhospitable for humans, such as the ocean floor, the Antarctic ...
