A cutaway view of the operational system in its deployed state. The inflatable habitat (1) provides an overnight shelter in which two astronauts can sleep, while the environmental control and life support system on the rover (2) maintains the habitat's internal environment. The thermal shield (3) mitigates solar radiation, and a solar array (4) supplies power. ["An Inflatable Tent For Camping On The Moon" · Charles Q. Choi · Popular Science · June 11th, 2015]
