This paper will describe an overview of the Lunar Architecture Team phase 2 (LAT-2) Option-4 architecture surface habitation definition performed during LAT-2. The LAT-2 architecture study focused on three primary habitation strategies. The three strategies are 1) habitats that are small, modular, and unloaded from the lander to create an outpost, 2) a monolithic habitat strategy that remained on the lander, and 3) habitats that remain on the lander and are mobile. The option 4 architecture focuses on the mobility aspects of a lunar outpost. Each habitation unit is 3.0 meters diameter by 8.5 meters long. Each is an aluminum-lithium pressure shell integrated with the lander and mobility system. Each habitat unit contains 55 cubic meters of volume and 3 habitats are used to make up the 165 m3 outpost. As part of the outpost architecture a mobile habitat and laboratory was defined to provide the long range mobile exploration capability. This paper will describe the mass and master equipment list of the systems. The internal architecture and configuration will be described.
