Living on The Moon • For the first few crew missions: • - 7 days duration • - Observatories construction • - Crew number: 4 • - South polar region travel: • To achieve this goal, temporary habitats become necessary
Why Magic Envelope ? • Reduce Weight • Provide larger space and more productive volume • Multi-deployment types • Better Mobility
Scope of this Presentation Mobile inflatable habitats (docked on rovers) Inflatable habitat on Altair Lander Habitat to habitat
Concept 1 Mobile inflatable habitats
Rover / Habitat Overview • NASA small pressurized rover for 2 crewmembers
Inflatable Habitat Dimensions • 20 m^2extra space
Deployment - Fold and Deploy Foldable Cart slap bracelet like metal with heater
Shielding Kevlar: 1.44 g/cm^3Nextel: 2.69g/cm^3 Ceiling Weight: 68.8 kg*Ceiling Weight (with water): 85.5 kg* Total: 330.24 kg**moon weight
Service Module Additional ECLSS components include –N2tanks,–N2/O2controller, –Cabin fan, –condensing heat exchanger, –WCS and waste water tanks, –O2and water supply tanks, –water heater
Concept 2 Inflatable habitat on Altair Lander
Another Option Earth Orbit Rendezvous Require (EOR)
Concept 3 Habitat to Habitat
Conclusion / Further Study • Inflatable Habitat do provide extra space and reduce weight • Could pre-deliver by Cargo • Could create inflatable lunar base • Cover materials • Shielding • Dust problem
