The article deals with estimation of the amount of regolith to be mined with respect to the preparation of lunar habitat. Estimation of the size of the pit is related to the overlay of regolith for habitat made of a composite concrete-like structure. The evaluation is based on the number of inhabitants, necessary floor area, and the considered structure that is made of three segments. The first segment is a linear vault with a half cylinder cross section ending with a half sphere on both sides of the vault. Elementary formulas for the computation of volume of cylinder and sphere are applied.
