Construction of Lunar Habitats
A space construction worker wearing a full protective suit is positioned near a massive semicircular shelter structure. This pressurized dome features segmented outer wall panels designed to withstand the harsh environment of the Moon and shelter lunar inhabitants.
Realities of Building on the Moon
Lunar bases must be sealed tight to hold breathable air because the Moon has virtually no atmosphere. Engineers design dome structures with thick modular shielding to reflect solar radiation and protect against extreme temperature swings. Heavy regolith soil can also be layered over these shelters to provide extra thermal protection.
Real Colors of Space Structures
- Spacesuit fabric: Pure white or reflective silver to bounce off sunlight and heat
- Helmet visor: Dark metallic gold or black tint to shield the astronaut from UV rays
- Dome shell: Light gray or titanium off-white matte finish
- Lunar soil background: Dusty ash gray and charcoal shades
