Eurohab is a concept for a lunar surface habitat developed by Spartan Space. The idea was initially developed by Peter Weiss and Jean Jacques Favier and received a prize from the Foundation Jacques Rougerie. Eurohab is based on an inflatable habitat that can be transported to the lunar surface by a robotic vehicle such as the ESA
Argonaut Lander or the Nyx Lander of
The Exploration Company. Automatically deployed at the lunar south pole, it serves as a remote base camp for a crew of astronauts in extravehicular activity. Spartan Space developed a first mock-up of the habitat, which was exhibited at IAC 2021 and the French Pavilion of the
Expo 2020 in Dubai. In 2022, the company performed tests with the system in the desert of
Abu Dhabi. Air Liquide and the French CEA joined the concept to provide an energy management system based on flexible
solar cells, regenerative
fuel cells and a management system based on
artificial intelligence. The same year the concept was presented to the
French senate as potential French contribution to the
Artemis Program during a public audition. == Airlock ==
