On the moon, there is little construction facility and particles. Inflatable system is deploying the membrane and then air pressure makes it shelter. Its lightness and easy transportation is of advantages to lunar outpost. But if pressurized space is too large, material should be thick and deploying need carefully concerned. Today, actual inflatable system has 2.5 meters in diameter. This study propose that an inflatable system, which will include a large space for communal living. At first, decide a method of making large shelter. It was composed with sphere units. Units assembled by wire. Second, units' position was concerned by geometrical study. Finally, proposed figure is estimated by size and energy generation. In addition to that model and drawings show variation of transformation.
