In 2015, an article was published on the OuterPlaces website titled MIT Builds Egg-Shaped Inflatable Tent to Camp Out on the Moon. This article presumably explained that when Apollo explored the moon decades ago, astronauts needed to stay near the lunar lander to maintain their lives, preventing more exploration of the moon. Therefore, MIT engineers envisioned that astronauts could use a lightweight inflatable tent as a place of activity and life support during the moon exploration.
This is a high-tech inflatable tent with a heat shield that protects astronauts from the sun's rays. There is also a rover inside - equipped with a life support system that provides oxygen, food and water. This system can also use solar energy to charge the rover. It is conceivable that if the astronauts' range of motion is no longer confined to the vicinity of the lunar lander, they will explore a larger range.
More and more fields begin to use inflatable tents. It can be seen that the functions and uses of inflatable tents are constantly expanding. The basic reason is that compared to traditional metal-supported tents, inflatable tents are lighter. In addition to inflatable tents used in the field of technology, the most common are inflatable products that are used in various outdoor activities in daily life, such as camping, parties, promotions, conferences, exhibitions, sports, advertising and even education.
