SPECIALTY HABS

THE UNIHAB
The initial hab for the Initial Crew is called the UniHab. This name implies that it will have everything within that one habitat to support the initial crew of eight. It will be multi-purpose with multiple functions within the one habitat. It would also be a singular habitat that could be inflated at once so as to avoid the extra complications of attaching modules together including the mass of the attachments.

SUBSEQUENT HABS
After the Initial Crew establishes themselves in the UniHab, specialty habs would be delivered in a sequence according to the Master Plan. These habitats would gain efficiencies of scale by focusing the function of each habitat on one specific function. The size or number of each of these specialty habs would be determined by the quantity of that function that is needed at any given point of development. So, for example, as the population grows, the number and sizes of the GardenHabs would increase to meet the demand of the population.

EXAMPLE SPECIALTY HABS
There are numerous functions needed by a growing base / settlement and therefore there are a number of specialty habs needed. It may well be that very large habitats might have sections within them to fulfill different functions. However, for the sake of being able to conceptualize things, we will refer to these functions as individual habs dedicated to just one function a piece.

Examples of specialty habs could include:

Utilities:
- LifeSupportHab
- AirConHab
- SanitationHab
- BathroomHab
- ElectricalHab

Residence:
- DormHab
- HomeHab
Agriculture:
- GardenHab
- FarmHab
- FieldHab
- OrchardHab
- BarnHab

Food:
- KitchenHab
- DiningHab
- CafeteriaHab

Common Areas:
- MeetingHab
- WorshipHab
- MovieHab
"Outdoors":
- GardenHab
- MeadowHab

Sports:
- SwimHab
- GolfHab

Amenities:
- SpaHab

As the lunar base grows, more habitats will be attached which will be specialized for a specific function.
