Habitat Harmony: Lunar Stress Layout Simulator (LS²): **
</aside>
<aside> 🪐
How can internal habitat layout and zoning reduce crew psychological stress and improve behavioral health in long-duration lunar missions within NASA’s volumetric and habitability constraints?
</aside>
A NASA-data-driven interactive simulator for evaluating psychological resilience in lunar habitat layouts. Mapping spatial configuration to psychological performance using validated NASA analog and design data.

| Data Source | How It Informs the Simulator |
|---|---|
| NASA/TP-2020-220505 — Deep Space Habitability Design Guidelines | Provides quantitative volume allocations and adjacency rules (e.g., crew quarters, hygiene, galley, exercise, waste) to generate layout constraints. |
| HERA Facility Documentation (2019) | Defines mission durations (up to 45 days), crew size (4), lighting, and psychological stressor modeling for confined environments. |
| UND Lunar Daytime Behavioral Study (2020) | Supplies behavioral metrics and flexibility parameters for analog missions, forming the core of the psychometric simulation. |
| AIAA “Internal Layout of a Lunar Surface Habitat” (2022) | Establishes empirical area and volume tables for each function (e.g., 1.82 m² sleep, 1.06 m² hygiene) to constrain user design actions. |
| HDU / HERA Habitat Demonstration Unit reports (2013) | Validates modular architecture and ergonomic flow for realistic layout rendering. |
| MMPACT / Moon-to-Mars Architecture (2024) | Contextualizes lunar surface construction methods and power/logistics coupling for surface missions. |
Create an interactive simulation tool where users design interior layouts of a lunar habitat and receive quantitative psych-health feedback based on NASA-validated data (lighting, volume, adjacency, privacy).
