About

Space habitats is an interdisciplinary research area investigating the scientific, engineering, and socio-technical challenges associated with designing, constructing, operating, and sustaining environments capable of supporting human life outside Earth's atmosphere. This field encompasses the development of resilient structures, closed-loop life support systems, resource utilization strategies, and considerations for human physiology and psychology in extreme extra-terrestrial conditions like vacuum, radiation, and altered gravity, holding significance for enabling extended space exploration, potential colonization, and the expansion of human activity beyond terrestrial constraints.
