  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 AnalogResearch Program vs. Research Program Goals Goals

  3. Vertical? -- or Horizontal

  4. An Alternative “Mobile-Modular” Approachbeing pioneered by the Calgary Space Workers

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

  6. a Regolith-covered Cylinder anda Regolith-covered Quonset Hutlook 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 BiosphereIntegrating 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 SpaceA 2nd “torus” or “ring mold” Greenhouse

  17. Phase III Expanded Analog Moonbase

  18. Overall Site Plan: a main “surface” outpostand an “annex” in a nearby lavatube

  19. The Lavatube “Annex” would be used forDayspan/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 ProgramPushing the Limits of Teleoperation

  23. Analog Moonbase Research ProgramTesting various Shielding Options

  24. Analog Moonbase Reseach ProgramTesting various “sunlighting” systems

  25. Analog Moonbase Research ProgramTesting Periscopic Window Systems

  26. Analog Moonbase Research ProgramErgonomics of various Layout Options

  27. Analog Moonbase Research ProgramDust Control Systems & Dust Management

  28. Analog Moonbase Research ProgramMaximizing use of Early Lunar Materials

  29. Analog Moonbase Research ProgramExperimenting with Lunar Fuels & Engines

  30. Analog Moonbase Research ProgramExperimenting with Biosphere Options• Alternative Black->Graywater Systems in each Module• Alternative Living Wall Systems in each CorridorAlternative Waste Biomass Conversion Systems• Alternative Plant Bedding/watering/fertilizing Systemsin 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 ProgramTesting robotic and teleoperated Agriculture Systems

  32. Analog Moonbase Research ProgramStoring Dayspan Power for Nightspan Use

  33. Analog Moonbase Research SystemExperiments with Operational Scheduling for dayspan and nightspan power availability

  34. Analog Moonbase Research Program:Experimenting with Nightspan Plant Lighting

  35. Analog Moonbase Research ProgramDiversification of Early Frontier Vegetarian Menues.

  36. Analog Moonbase Research ProgramAn Effort of Several Teams

  37. Analog Moonbase - Public OutreachStudent Involvement Programs

  38. Public Outreach Program - Visitor’s Center

  39. Analog Moonbase Research ProgramWhat else can we do?What else do we NEED to do?Your suggestions are welcome!This will be a cooperative projectMoon Society - National Space SocietyLunar Reclamation Society - Oregon L5 SocietyCalgary Space Workersand several other collaborating organizations

  40. Your Comments & Feedback are WelcomePeter Kokh - kokhmmm@aol.compresident@moonsociety.org(subject line: “analog moonbase ideas”)MMM1630 N. 32nd StreetMilwaukee, WI 53208-2040
