Micrometeoroid Impact Rate Analysis for an Artemis-Era #Lunar Base: https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.04740 -> "a shielded lunar base would experience 0.024--0.037 penetrating impacts per year [...] the lunar poles are optimal for sustained habitation [...] and [...] current shielding technology can reduce micrometeoroid threats by nearly five orders of magnitude, making long-duration lunar habitation feasible."
