Transit Habitat Concept and Mars Analog in Cislunar Orbit
- Transit Habitat Overview
- Supports 4-crew during Lunar-Mars Analog missions leading up to a 700-1110-day Mars mission
- Hybrid inflatable-metallic habitat structure
- Launched commercially and outfitted with logistics in cis-lunar orbit (NRHO)
- Docks w/ an interim propulsion
Selection note: Curated because “Transit Habitat Concept and Mars Analog in Cislunar Orbit” covers Mars, Mars transit, habitation; it materially informs GShips work on transit habitat analogs.
Evidence boundary: NTRS provides open full text, but this presentation was screened for curation rather than independently or domain reviewed; inclusion is contextual, not automatic claim evidence.
