-All tools and machines will have to fit in the Aquarius, so special consideration needs to be taken into account for weight and volume distribution. To make matters even more complex, it needs to be a bit like a transformer, so that the crew can change it to given tasks i.e. hhen people are working, the places to sleep need to be hidden in order to make room for people to work. It also has to sustain harsh weather conditions and also offer good insulation, in order to minimize the amount of energy needed to keep the climate within the LM at a friendly/tolerable level for human beings.+All tools and machines will have to fit in the Aquarius, so special consideration needs to be taken into account for weight and volume distribution.

 +Test/Prototype components have been deployed and are being tested at the launch site for a couple of months now. Components have been selected with focus on flexibility and resilience.The Cooking fields have a ceran surface for easy cleaning and the dual gas/induction combo gives maximum flexibility for any kind of deployment or cooking scenario. The sink is mineral-casted and very sturdy.

 +Unfortunately, Siemens has a long history in all of the old economy workflows and dealer network dependencies, which makes them kind of slow to adapt to the 21 century. Neither in the manual nor in the shop is any information about the Nozzle Kit (probably this info goes only to "approved dealers". However, when you search for Siemens HZ298010 you'll find a couple of sources offering them in Online-Shops, it's a complete set with nozzles and air supply modifications (in case it is needed, it was not for the EH375ME11E when using a 30mbar nozzle) for many different types of Gas sources and pressures. 
 +
 +To change the nozzle, just unscrew the grey gas/air mix chamber and you will have access to the nozzle from the top (no need to open the backside). Once released a pair of pincers was used to safely unscrew and pick it up (there is risk that you drop it into the case :/) and select/insert the new nozzle according to the datahsset that comes with the Nozzle Kit.

 +Since gas is a nice, alternative energy carrier and offers another option in case of infrastructure outages, this setup is much more resilient against utility failures/unavailability. However, gas leaks might be a risk, so sensors are deployed, to manage that risk autonomously.
