⭐ Core Definition: Habitation Module

The Habitation Module for the International Space Station (ISS) was intended to serve as the station's primary living quarters. About the size of a bus, it was designed to include a galley, toilet, shower, sleeping quarters, and medical facilities. Construction of the pressurized hull was completed, but the module was ultimately canceled before launch. If it had been flown, the module would have been berthed to Tranquility.

Habitation Module in the context of Space habitat (facility)

A space habitat (or habitation module) in a basic sense is any facility providing shelter and fulfilling habitational purposes in outer space. It is not to be confused with an extended space settlement, an arrangement of or infrastructure for multiple habitation facilities, in the sense of a space settlement. Space stations and theoretical extraterrestrial surface stations (or base station), such as a moonbase or Mars habitat, include or are basic space habitats.

The ISS was planned to get a now canceled dedicated Habitation Module.
