s Figure 4-15: Plan of lower level, upper level and mid level, respectively, from left to right HMM Assessment Study Report: CDF-20(A) February 2004 page 262 of 422 Figure 4-15 shows the different levels with their functional layout. On the bottom left is the lowest level showing how the workstation, the sample exchange box, the toolboxes and the EVA suits docked to the SHM are integrated. In the middle right is the social level indicating the relation of the window and the table, the galley and the circulation, the hygiene facilities and the stairs coming up from the EVA deck. This design approach was finally chosen because the heaviest part is at the bottom of the habitat and the spatial design has the most advantages and different layers of perception and habitability which makes the habitat user friendly. Also through the whole process of different options this one developed integrating all the advantages and important factors, which have been investigated earlier. 4.3.1.4 General safety issues The following general safety issues have been taken into consideration: • 20% of the volume has to be dedicated to ducts and pipes – this volume might be added with easy access to all ducts and pipes for maintenance • Enough fire detectors and isolation and recovery systems should be provided to enhance the safety of the crew • The LSS of the MAV should function independently from the SHM there must be two air-tight compartments: 1. MAV 2. SHM

s 4.3.1.5 Baseline design HMM Assessment Study Report: CDF-20(A) February 2004 page 263 of 422 With the previous proposal taken further in its conceptual detail, this baseline design was developed. Zoning of the SHM is defined by functions such as working, EVA, private areas (marked orange) and achieved by spatial planning. The LSS is placed at the bottom of the SHM, allowing free translation throughout the habitat.

With the previous proposal taken further in its conceptual detail, this baseline design was<br />

developed. Zoning of the SHM is defined by functions such as working, EVA, private areas<br />

(marked orange) and achieved by spatial planning. The LSS is placed at the bottom of the SHM,<br />

allowing free translation throughout the habitat. Figure 4-16 shows a large axonometric view of<br />

the habitat, which gives an overview of the SHM configuration.<br />
