An inflatable habitat similar to this could represent part of an outpost, forerunner to a permanent inhabited lunar base. The artist has depicted here, along with the inflatable habitat a construction shack and related solar shield, connecting tunnel regolith bags for radiation protection, thermal radiation experimental six-legged walker, solar power system for the lunar oxygen pilot plant and other elements.
