Challenges in the Construction of a Lunar Base
Engineering, Construction, and Operations in Space V, 1996 The construction of a Lunar Base is seen as achievable. The paper provides a useful summary of challenges facing pioneers of lunar base construction. It highlights important aspects of the location and use of the facility, the local environment, the human physiological adaptation process, and a principal concern for the construction industry ...

Lunar base construction robots
IEEE International Workshop on Intelligent Robots and Systems, Towards a New Frontier of Applications, 2002President Bush called for the construction of a permanently manned lunar base. All serious plans for such a base require the use of lunar soil as shielding material against the Sun's radiation. Plans rely on the use of a large bulldozer-like vehicle to be driven by an astronaut, either locally or under teleoperation control.

Lunar Regolith at Tranquillity Base
Science, 1970The regolith at Tranquillity Base is a layer of fragmental debris that ranges in thickness from about 3 to 6 meters. The thickness of the regolith and the exposure histories of its constituent fragments can be related, by means of a relatively simple model, to the observed crater distribution.

Scientific investigations at a lunar base
Acta Astronautica, 1988Scientific investigations to be carried out at a lunar base can have significant impact on the location, extent, and complexity of lunar surface facilities. Among the potential research activities to be carried out are: (1) Lunar Science: Studies of the origin and history of the Moon and early solar system, based on lunar field investigations ...

This work provides information on research and experimentation concerning various aspects of food production in space and particularly on the moon. Options for human settlement of the moon and Mars and strategies for a lunar base are discussed. The lunar environment, including the mineralogical and chemical properties of lunar regolith are investigated

Modeling a lunar base mushroom farm
Life Sciences in Space Research, 2022To calculate the equivalent system mass of mushrooms, a conceptual configuration of a mushroom farm as part of a bioregenerative life support system on an inhabited lunar base was designed. The mushroom farm consists of two connected modules. Each module is a double-shell rigid pipe-in-pipe aluminum structure.

Abstract How do we begin to expand our civilization to the Moon? What are the technical issues that infra-structural engineers, in particular, must address? This paper has the goal of providing an overview of this fascinating area of structural engineering. Published work of the past several decades about lunar bases is summarized.

Abstract : The two major theories of lunar substructure are reviewed as pertinent to the location of a lunar base. The meteoric theory favors a moon base located in the highlands where the collapse hazard is at a minimum. Lunar probes for experimental verification of these conclusions are discussed.

Infrastructure for a lunar base
Advances in Space Research, 1996Abstract Exploration of the Moon is the most crucial and decisive step toward human expansion into the vast reaches of space. The Moon is the natural and ideal testbed for determining human capability to survive, function, expand and settle into the space environment.

Lunar base CELSS design and analysis
Advances in Space Research, 1994This paper describes the conceptual development of a hybrid biological-physical/chemical (P/C) life support system model for a lunar outpost. It presents steps that lead to loop closure and determines mass flow characteristics for an inedible biomass enzyme reactor and an activated sludge bioreactor. Computer modeling techniques were used to determine
