Designing a Home for Future Lunar Astronauts

In this episode Franco Fenoglio, Head of Human Planetary Exploration at Thales Alenia Space, describes the specialized living quarters that Thales Alenia Space is designing for astronauts of the Artemis mission – NASA’s official return to lunar exploration after the Apollo Mission ended more than five decades ago. These pressurized habitat modules will be a vital part of the Artemis mission’s Lunar Gateway, which will serve as an outpost orbiting the Moon to support sustainable, long-term human life on the lunar surface, as well as a staging point for deep space exploration.
