Abstract

Scientific research is the foundation of design and concept development. The chapter addresses the next stage of design and planning; focusing and informing requirements for site selection with examples from Apollo and Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover programs; habitat structural systems, habitats and settlements concepts, and means to enable sustainable human presence beyond Earth.

Forward Osmosis is a natural process in which the osmotic potential between two fluids of differing solute/solvent concentrations equalizes by the movement of solvent from the less concentrated solution to the more concentrated solution.
