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
