We will use the same singlewide modules used in the Earth Orbit Station (EOS), only these modules will lay horizontally since we now have a sense of "up" and "down" in the lunar environment.
All modules will have docking ports on either end. Some modules will have docking ports situated horizontally, and others will have docking ports on the ceiling (Image 1). We will include observation modules for the enjoyment of the tourists and crew.

The modules are designated by the number of docking ports installed on each side or on the ceiling.
A standard Resupply Module (Image 2), similar to the modules used on the EOS, will also sustain the humans onboard the base.

We will use the same kind of Module Receptacle and Rail system that was used on the Lunar LOX facility, only these receptacles will hold doublewide modules instead of half–doublewide modules. The rails allow the modules to be easily docked together. Total mass for the system will be 42,000 kg.
