For the past few years, designs have been developed that are intended to demonstrate that a long-duration habitation system beyond LEO is plausible within several years. Here we summarize a pair of designs with the overriding goal of development and operation beyond LEO before the end of the decade that also build upon experiments and lessons learned from ISS. Both concepts here have the goal of an expandable long-duration habitat at Earth- Moon L1 and/or L2. Both options require subsequent launches for the astronauts. If a heavy-lift launch vehicle is available this decade, an expandable 30.5 mt habitat and departure-stage propulsion system may be launched to E-M L1,2 in a single launch and will offer 575 cubic meter (roughly half the habitable volume of ISS) If existing (or near-future) EELVs are the available launch vehicles this decade, a 16 mt, 170 cubic meter design that uses a pair of launches of Delta IV H and LEO rendezvous/fuel transfer to reach E-M L1,2.
