Bigelow Aerospace release
Meet 'First Base'

A lunar landers best friend

This base can accommodate four people for a long duration or six people for 120 days on the surface of the moon.

  • Habitat interior volume is 330 cubic meters, not including two airlocks

  • Interior accommodations include six large crew quarters, a large amount of storage capacity, two toilets and two galleys

  • On either side of the habitat are two airlocks — each with double compartments

  • Attached to the airlocks are opposing propulsion and warehouse structures

  • One warehouse is large enough for a solar array field to handle all of the power needs

  • The second warehouse is large enough to store two full-scale, two person cabin enclosed lunar rovers

All times are CT (US)
