NASA has announced that a new type of astronauts on the Moon for the inflatable tents will be living in the Antarctic with harsh natural conditions, a preliminary test.
Such a similar inflatable tents in the back yard Inflatable tents for children prepared inflatable bouncing toys, made by the special fibers, can withstand adverse environmental surface of the moon.
It has two cabins composition. Like a house, the astronauts will be in tents not wearing bulky spacesuits. It can provide about 36 square meters of space, there are 2.4 meters high. Tents have power supply system, while the cabin temperature control.
Testing will be next year in January started in February 2009 ended, which lasted 13 months. Astronauts kind of cold in the Antarctic environment for the conduct of work, and wearing bulky spacesuits on the Moon on the challenges facing the work is very similar.
If NASA recognized the results of the trial, the second or Inflatable tents third generation of inflatable residence will be in 2020 in the surface of the moon started. Time will be four astronauts for a week-long "moon trip."
