ALT An artist’s illustration shows an astronaut conducting an extravehicular activity on the lunar surface. In the background, a second astronaut collects lunar samples. Small craters are visible around the surface. A habitat is visible on the righthand side with Earth rising above. Commissioned by NASA in the late ‘80s. Artist: Garret Moore. Credit: NASA
ALT An artist’s illustration from 1986 shows astronauts working on the Moon. On the lefthand side, a rover with six wheels is visible. A communications satellite sits atop. In the left corner, Earth is visible. Two astronauts stand beside the rover to the right. In the far background, elements of lunar habitats can be seen. Artist: Dennis M. Davidson. Credit: NASA
ALT An artist’s illustration from 1969 shows two lunar habitats. One is a raised vertical structure, slightly behind another dome structure. The habitats appear connected by a tubing ventilation system. Astronauts are walking outside the habitats in spacesuits. Artist: Roy G. Scarfo. Credit: NASA
