The expansion of human activity into the Earth-Moon system presents profound long-term challenges. This metodology introduces a strategic framework for Cislunar Habitat Deployment that integrates multi-criteria decision-making, lifecycle modulation, and Circular Economy principles, shifting sustainability from a reactive measure to a foundational governance structure.
Utilizes fuzzy TOPSIS to evaluate and rank literature based on sustainability indicators across economic, social, environmental, and technological dimensions, ensuring robust decision-making under uncertainty.
Redistributes sustainability priorities across the CADMID lifecycle phases (Concept to Disposal), recognizing that preventive leverage is highest during early architectural definition and shifts toward recovery at end-of-life.
Maps phase-adjusted priorities directly onto the R10 circular hierarchy (Refuse to Recover), defining explicit circular intervention strategies aligned with stakeholder responsibilities at key decision gates.
Detailed capabilities and technical specifications developed for this mission.
Embeds alternative strategic rationalities into the decision matrix, balancing short-term operational integration with long-horizon systemic capability development.
Prioritizes the use of local lunar materials to drastically reduce transport costs and establish logistical autonomy early in the habitat deployment lifecycle.
Associates specific decision gates with lead stakeholder clusters—from space agencies in the Concept phase to regulatory authorities in Disposal—clarifying institutional accountability.
Prioritizes psychological support systems, conflict resolution mechanisms, and inclusive participation to ensure human resilience during long-duration off-world habitation.
Focuses on continuous communication links, sensor network ranges, and adherence to international safety standards to manage debris and meteoroid risks in the cislunar environment.
