Lunar habitat prototype on display at Abu Dhabi University – The National

A prototype of a unit that can be used by astronauts to live on the lunar surface is on display at Abu Dhabi University.

Spartan Space, the French start-up responsible for the inflatable structure, called Euro Hab, has set up the presentation to inspire more students into space architecture.

The company also has a long-term vision of carrying out field tests at a remote UAE desert site using the lunar habitat, where test subjects would spend weeks in isolation to simulate missions to the Moon.
