This paper discusses fundamental design considerations for developing a habitat to support NASA’s goals of establishing Mars surface capabilities with commonality for in-space transit habitat architectures. The mission requirements for this study are based on NASA’s Human Exploration of Mars Design Reference Architecture 5.0. Our methodology includes the analysis of reference mission requirements, the examination of functionality and constraints for on-surface and in-flight conditions, the definition of primary characteristics of a habitat for each environment, and summarizing those characteristics in the form of figures of merit to develop design selection criteria. The long term vision of our study is the development of a module and its systems design that can effectively provide a livable and comfortable volume that can be adjusted and scaled for multiple mission support functions. This paper discusses the potential of a common module layout for zero- and partial-gravity conditions as well as human factors considerations and problems of implementation.
