Assumptions
The working case represents a four-person habitat over 8,760 hourly intervals with six connected resource layers and a defined supply portfolio.

Report 02 · Project Artemis
A habitat is a system.
A coupled study of electricity, water, oxygen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide and heat for a four-person lunar habitat.
Working evidence interface
Designed to be questioned.
The study connects mission demand, generation, conversion, storage and life support over a full model year. Its public interface pairs plain-language reporting with inspectable model records and real solved-series data.

Methodology & provenance
A study case with visible limits.
Outputs
Solved series, resource balances and evidence cards describe the current binary solution; they are not a mission guarantee or a certified engineering design.
Sources
Engineering references and source notes are exposed in the Artemis microsite. NASA and ESA references are used where relevant; the study boundary remains explicit.

Study interface
Narrative and evidence, together.
Digital report
Seven chapters organise the study around mission demand, supply, life support, resilience, methodology and validation.
Solved output
Selectable charts read the current binary solution across an 8,760-hour horizon rather than drawing illustrative curves.
System visualisation
A connected lunar-system view links assets, resources and hourly operation across six resource layers.
Model reference
Searchable records keep model objects, properties, assumptions and source notes close to the visual evidence.
Publication boundary
Working result.
Visible limits.
Zero represented shortage is a solved-model result under the current assumptions, not proof of mission resilience. Oxygen surplus, crew-water assumptions, rover duty cycles and stress scenarios remain explicit design decisions before a canonical release.
