"Revolutionary Moon Habitat: A Cool and Versatile Space Solution"

The Italian Space Agency (ASI) and Thales Alenia Space have partnered to develop a multi-purpose habitat, named the Multi-Purpose Habitat (MPH), which aims to be the first permanent outpost on the Moon. The cylindrical habitat, powered by solar panels and equipped with articulated legs, is designed to provide a pressurized environment, life support, and protection from radiation and micrometeorite showers. While the project has passed NASA's Element Initiation Review, it still needs to complete NASA's Mission Concept Review to become part of the Artemis program.
