What's it like to live in space? 🌙🏠✨

Step inside the Habitation and Logistics Outpost (HALO), a key part of NASA’s Artemis program. This new artifact is an early engineering mockup of a space habitat, which will orbit the Moon. HALO is one of four pressurized modules where astronauts will live, conduct scientific research, and prepare for missions to the lunar South Pole.

Explore HALO inside of our Artemis Exhibit and get a firsthand look at what life could be like for the Artemis crew. Get your tickets at spacecenter.org!
