A Heat Pipe Cooled Modular Reactor Concept for Manned Lunar Base Application

Volume 2: Plant Systems, Construction, Structures and Components; Next Generation Reactors and Advanced Reactors, 2013
A lithium heat pipe cooled modular fast reactor (HPCMR) power system concept has been developed for manned lunar base application. The system is designed to use the static thermoelectric conversion module to produce over 100kW electricity for up to ten years. Waste heat is rejected by potassium heat pipe radiator. This system has advantages of low mass,

New Concepts for Permanently Manned Lunar Bases, Report of the Lunar Base Design Workshop, held in Noordwijk, The Netherlands from 10–21 June 2002

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2003
This paper presents some of the results of the Lunar Base Design Workshop, held in Noordwijk, The Netherlands from 10–21 June 2002. Six groups designed six different lunar bases according to six different scenario’s. The main findings have to do with the horizontal and vertical movement in 1/6G in shirt sleeve environment.

The study of the drilling core features of a multi-pipe deep lunar soil sampling driller for manned lunar exploration based on the discrete element technology

2015 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO), 2015
Lunar soil sampling is important for human beings to know about the components of lunar soil and the lunar geological structure. By now, lunar soil between the depths 0 and 3 meters is researched, but there are not any drillers which can collect the much deeper lunar soil.

MIC: Magnetically Deployable Structures for Power, Propulsion, Processing, Habitats and Energy Storage at Manned Lunar Bases

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2007
MIC (Magnetically Inflated Cables) is a new approach for robotically erecting very large, strong, rigid, and ultra‐lightweight structures in space. MIC structures use a network of high current (SC) cables with attached high tensile strength Kevlar or Spectra tethers. MIC is launched as a compact package of coiled SC cables and tethers on a conventional
