Presented at the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) 2023 in Baku, this talk documented the construction and field validation of ExoSpaceHab-X — the first physical prototype of a transportable Moon base, built from a modified caravan and a custom inflatable structure.

The talk traced how three real analogue missions — in Poland, Spain and Hawaii — generated the specific design decisions behind the habitat: from the virtual window addressing psychological distress, to individual lighting control responding to documented crew needs.
