The Vision for a Moon Village
The Moon Village is growing ensemble suited for multiple uses and open to multiple users. It will be served both by automatic and robotic as well as human capabilities to ensure flexibility and sustainability as well as to cater for potential contribution of all Nations. It will call for the provision of common services thus opening new markets. The Moon Village is to incrementally evolve as an
- pen, inclusive and sustainable endeavour to serve
humankind by supporting
- world-class science from the Moon,
- novel cooperation opportunities open to all
partners,
- pportunities for public as well as industrial and
commercial players,
- inspiring education and cultural activities to
mobilize the citizens of the World and in particular the younger generations.

The Vision for a Moon Village
The Moon village shall also serve a test bed for new governance schemes and alliances, allowing the emergence of new paradigms in science on/ from the moon, new private/ commercial activities (resources mining, moon products, entertainment/ tourism), human/ robotics interaction, involvement of general public with new immersive technologies and ways
- f crowd shaping for the younger
generation in particular. Its incremental evolution should allow short-term achievements within forward- looking objectives and a new narrative.

The ESA/ EAC LUNA-Flexhab project
Flexhab is an analogue habitat facility designed to test future operations, training and technology in the scope of a future lunar mission. It features a fully equipped lunar habitat for 4-6 persons depending on mission configuration Flexhab is designed to be connected to the currently under construction LUNA facility at the ESA-DLR premises in Cologne, Germany. However it is also capable of operating autonomously in many different environments to support simulation campaigns.
