The International Lunar Exploration Working group has been organizing a new campaign to test exploration proceduresin Analogue Moon Base Infrastructure. The 2012 campaign called EuroMoonMars/Domus was carried out at the MarsDesert Research Station (MDRS), a space analogue environment in Utah. Inside the station, selected crew members areforced to work and live together in an infrastructure designed on the basis of an early Moon or Mars outpost. Thefeasibility and limitations of human and robotic planetary exploration were investigated, with prior lessons learned fromthe ILEWG EuroMoonMars missions since 2008 being taken into account. Two teams were involved, crew 113 andcrew 114, each comprised of six members. The focus of this paper will be on presenting the analysis performed by theExtreme-Design Research Group on the living and working conditions, which analyzed and predicted problems relatedto the habitability of a previous lunar outpost. The living conditions were investigated with the help of a detailedquestionnaire and a debriefing workshop, which focused on two points of interest: the social approach of the crew andthe relevance of cultureature/art for increasing the crew's well-being and performance in isolation. The work activitiesof the crew included human-robotic partnership such as EVA assistance or replacement; extension of the RF roboticremote control network, as well as research in the field of human factors, such as a food study, a sleep study, and othertypes of habitability research. This paper will review all the results of the studies and compare them with the result fromthe 2011 campaign.
