A regulation basketball court is 94 feet long by 50 feet wide. Every zone, every paint, every arc maps to a habitat module. Input your crew size and mission duration — this calculator tells you how many stations you need, where to place them, and what each one holds.

Why This Matters
Killeen kids learn the same geometry whether they're running a fast break or sealing a hatch. The paint teaches us density management. The arc teaches us perimeter security. The baseline teaches us redundancy. Every measurement is a promise we make to the kid who depends on us.
