1 A Modular Analog Lunar Research Station Proposal Peter Kokh - December 9, 2006 - Lunar Reclamation Society - Version 1.03 January 11, 2007

2 Mars Analog Moon Analog Research Program vs. Research Program Goals Goals

3 Vertical? -- or Horizontal

4 An Alternative “Mobile-Modular” Approach being pioneered by the Calgary Space Workers

5 An Analog Outpost should be Modular just as a real Lunar Outpost would be, able to grow in open-ended fashion

6 a Regolith-covered Cylinder and a Regolith-covered Quonset Hut look very much alike from the outside

7 A Quonset Module Shell is inexpensive

8 An idea of the Quonset interior volume

9 Modular Architecture & Modular Biosphere Integrating biosphere components in every module, rather than as a closeted afterthought, allows Outpost & Biosphere to grow in step together

10 All connecting passageways would have “Living Walls” to one side

11 Modular Utility Systems

12 Phase I of a Modular Analog Outpost

13 The Green Hub

14 Phase II Expanded Analog Moonbase

15 Food Growth Chamber & Gardens at South Pole Base

16 Phase IV: More Agricultural - Biosphere Space A 2nd “torus” or “ring mold” Greenhouse

17 Phase III Expanded Analog Moonbase

18 Overall Site Plan: a main “surface” outpost and an “annex” in a nearby lavatube

19 The Lavatube “Annex” would be used for Dayspan/Nightspan Operations Research

20 Alternatives to a Lavatube for Dayspan/Nightspan Cycle Simulation

21 A more expensive Dayspan/Nightspan Simulation Option

22 Analog Moonbase Research Program Pushing the Limits of Teleoperation

23 Analog Moonbase Research Program Testing various Shielding Options

24 Analog Moonbase Reseach Program Testing various “sunlighting” systems

25 Analog Moonbase Research Program Testing Periscopic Window Systems

26 Analog Moonbase Research Program Ergonomics of various Layout Options

27 Analog Moonbase Research Program Dust Control Systems & Dust Management

28 Analog Moonbase Research Program Maximizing use of Early Lunar Materials

29 Analog Moonbase Research Program Experimenting with Lunar Fuels & Engines

30 Analog Moonbase Research Program Experimenting with Biosphere Options Alternative Black->Graywater Systems in each Module Alternative Living Wall Systems in each Corridor Alternative Waste Biomass Conversion Systems Alternative Plant Bedding/watering/fertilizing Systems in the Greenhouse(s) and Living Wall units Alternative nightspan Plant Lighting Schedules Alternative Plant Lighting Systems Alternative Plant Irrigation & Nutrition Systems

31 Analog Moonbase Research Program Testing robotic and teleoperated Agriculture Systems

32 Analog Moonbase Research Program Storing Dayspan Power for Nightspan Use

33 Analog Moonbase Research System Experiments with Operational Scheduling for dayspan and nightspan power availability

34 Analog Moonbase Research Program: Experimenting with Nightspan Plant Lighting

35 Analog Moonbase Research Program Diversification of Early Frontier Vegetarian Menues.

36 Analog Moonbase Research Program An Effort of Several Teams

37 Analog Moonbase - Public Outreach Student Involvement Programs

38 Public Outreach Program - Visitor’s Center

39 Analog Moonbase Research Program What else can we do? What else do we NEED to do? Your suggestions are welcome! This will be a cooperative project Moon Society - National Space Society Lunar Reclamation Society - Oregon L5 Society Calgary Space Workers and several other collaborating organizations

40 Your Comments & Feedback are Welcome Peter Kokh - kokhmmm@aol.com president@moonsociety.org (subject line: “analog moonbase ideas”) MMM 1630 N. 32nd Street Milwaukee, WI 53208-2040kokhmmm@aol.com president@moonsociety.org
