The upper part of the habitat is the private zone with some cocoon-type crew quarters (bunk beds). Below is the social zone with the galley, the hygiene facilities, a table to accommodate all three crewmembers and the stowage area (marked in green). Arrows indicate the line of sight to enlarge the space on a perceptive level. Even from the lower level astronauts can look outside through the window placed near the table. The curved yellow arrow points towards the emergency exit – an easy path to follow and also in the line of sight. The right half of Figure 4-11 shows the lower level with the workstation, the sample exchange box and the EVA suits docked to the SHM.

Figure 4-11 shows the interior configuration for option 1. Placing the LSS in the middle of the<br />

SHM creates a natural distinction between zones. The main working zone is placed at the bottom<br />

next to the EVA area. Above the LSS are the private and personal spaces with the sleeping<br />

quarters at the top, close to the emergency exit into the MAV. This distinction creates distance<br />

while still having the possibility to overlook the whole module from the private cabins.<br />

The best location for the LSS is at such a height so that the centre of mass is as low as possible,<br />

which is optimal for landing. As the MAV with all the propulsion is already very heavy, the<br />

other heavy part of the SHM, the LSS, should be located at the bottom.
