Habitat

The “Habitat” section deals with living and working in space or on other celestial bodies (e.g. Mars, the moon).
In addition to the actual living space, the habitat, research will also be conducted into the production of food and the provision and treatment of air and water as well as concepts for suits for working outside the habitat.

The fact that not everything needed to build habitats can be taken from the earth poses a major challenge in this area. Accordingly, the possibilities and raw materials on site must be used to build habitats. There are a wide range of research possibilities here, from the use of in-situ, i.e. locally available, raw materials such as sand/regolith to habitats made of water ice and foldable or inflatable modules.

The special thing about this sector is that the findings are not only applicable to extraterrestrial regions, but also directly here on Earth, whether in regions that have become uninhabitable due to the climate or in disaster areas where the infrastructure has collapsed.
