2 Harrison Schmitt Apollo 17

3 Arthur C. Clarke, 1951

4 In 1962, a lunar base study by John DeNike and Stanley Zahn was published in Aerospace Engineering. Their chosen location was a flat region on the moon that included the Sea of Tranquility (the Apollo 11 landing site).

6 President Bush’s new vision for NASA plans to return astronauts to the Moon by The Chinese Chang’e program plans human missions to the Moon after The European Space Agency’s Aurora program intends to send humans to the Moon by New Space Programs

7 attract young Americans to engineering & science economic rewards manifest destiny science national security creating an epic vision for humanity Moon as a testbed safeguard the species Moon First !

12 g Moon = 1.62 m / s² g Earth = 9.81 m / s² gravity is reduced by 5/6 A lunar structure has six times the weight bearing capacity as on Earth. Gravity Dust lock OTHER INTERESTING Moon-to-Earth RATIOS: Mass 1/81; Radius 1/3.7; Surface Area 1/13.5; Mean Density 1/1.65; Escape Velocity 1/4.7 Lunar Environment

13 can range from 34.5 kPa (5 psi) to kPa (14.7 psi) optimum is believed to be at 69 kPa (10 psi) enclosure structure must contain the pressure Internal Air Pressurization

14 protection from radiation and micrometeoroids insulation (temperature differentials of 250°C) regolith cover is most feasible at least 2.5 m m of regolith cover needed avg regolith mass is 1.7 g / cm³ dead load results to 8.3 kPa (1.2 psi) Shielding

15 Additional Critical Environment Factors Regolith dust: very small particles that are easily electrostatically charged, easily suspended and displaced, are abrasive, and attach to everything Moonquakes: Order of magnitude ~ 5 Richter, can last 10 minutes vs. 2 min max on Earth

16 first generation: pre-fabricated and pre-outfitted modules like the ones for the ISS Concepts

17 Cylinder Modules

19 Structural Concepts second generation: locally assembled structures after a certain presence on the Moon has been established third generation: structures exclusively made from local materials
