Abstract:
EN: For several decades, long-term inhabited structures for deep space
explorations have been of a great interest for the largest space agencies and research
communities (see, for example, a recent review by Benoraya. The Moon is the closest
celestial body to Earth. Thus, it is considered as the crucial point of the human space
infrastructure and as the first place for the development of permanent settlements. Creation of the lunar outpost allows in the near future conducting medical and biological research, testing systems of extraterrestrial human life and performing unique physical experiments.
The lunar environment is characterized by very contrast thermal conditions. At the
equatorial latitude, the surface temperature changes from about 100 K to 400 K during the
lunar diurnal cycle, which lasts approximately 28 Earth days. Simonsen et al. reported the specified range from 120 K to 374 K. Therefore, ensuring the efficient climate control of a lunar habitation module requires a precise simulation of the extreme temperature variations at the Moon
