By: Jason Jayanty and Christopher Bussetti Mentors: Rebecca Vecere, Dr. Siva Thangam, Professor Joseph Miles Expandable Deployed Lunar Base for the Purpose of the Establishment of a Lunar Colony By: Jason Jayanty and Christopher Bussetti Mentors: Rebecca Vecere, Dr. Siva Thangam, Professor Joseph Miles Main Objectives Design a Lunar Colony that will be cost-effective, durable, and expandable. It will provide the foundation for a permanent Lunar Colony. Benefits The Moon’s thin atmosphere allows for pristine conditions for research and projects that would be contaminated by Earth’s atmosphere. Certain minerals, such as natural titanium and silicon, are rare on earth but common on the Moon, making them within easy reach for mining. Finally, the Moon can be a jump-off point for the rest of the solar system. Background Information Geography: Radioactive equator, poles with constant sunlight and frozen resources Soil: Mostly basalt type rocks, composed of Iron, Silicon, Titanium, Oxygen, Helium Atmosphere: Very thin layer of 90% Nitrogen, Trace Helium, Hydrogen Temperature Range: -150° to 100° C at equator, - 50° to 50° C at poles Criteria%N - Pole N - Pole Weighted S - Pole S - Pole Weighted Equator Near Side Near Side Weighted Equator Far Side Far Side Weighted Areas of Constant Light Radiation Exposure Resource Availability Radio Contact Ease of Transport Placement of Installation Total Site Chosen Material Evaluation Criteria % SolarSolar Weighted FusionFusion Weighted BatteryBattery Weighted Availability of Fuel Expected Cost and Benefits Radiation Exposure Size Weight Ease of Transport Total Energy Comparison Colony Structure The size of this Stationary design will be two 35’ sections for living quarters, and one 15 foot section for observations. The stationary design will cost a lot, but it will last a long time Materials: Iridium – 30% Titanium – 20% Inconel 625 – 20% Stainless Steel – 15% Tungsten – 10% Demron – 5% Energy Solar Power with Plexiglas covering to protect from radiation Nuclear Fusion Reactor using Helium present in Lunar Soil Rechargeable battery system to power station during nights, recharged during day Human Considerations Humans can stay on the Moon with the proper equipment, but cannot stay for a long time until plenty of observations are taken. Bone loss of 39% over long periods can occur. Lung Cancer and Cardiovascular problems can occur from the ever-present and intrusive lunar dust. Precautions to avoid contact with radiation must also be taken. Transportation A moon rover or other vehicle would be used to travel. There would either be an External design or an Internal design. A landing craft would be used to bring initial supplies First Aid Equipment Mining Tools Telescopes Computers Suits Fuel Hydrocarbon Fuel Supplies Total: $855,800* Material Cost Computers $50,000 Food $15,000 Telescope $295,000 Mining Tools $10,000 First Aid $10,000 Air Recycler $2,000 Vehicle $68,500 External DesignInternal Design w / Pressurized Cabin ??
