Project description

The  problem with this project is that the transportation of material and equipment for the creation of lunar modules takes a long time and presents many problems such as extreme temperatures, solar radiation and falling meteorites so it is complicated to construct modules on the moon, this project will make this process more easier and faster. Our project plans to use the same lunar conditions to benefit the module. The project consists of using a rocket that works as a drill to drill a crater at the south pole of the moon that contains frozen water inside using the propellants of the ship itself and the moon’s own gravity carried out on the rocket to that this is accelerated in a controlled manner up to approximately 10m/s2. This first part has as a precedent the Lcross mission that crashed into the lunar surface, discovering frozen water in a crater. This structure will function as the external structure where in later missions the structures that will support the entire module will be joined. This module will have a cylinder in its center that connects the entire structure, transporting energy to each part of the module and providing structural support to the construction. It will also function as an elevator for occasions where it is necessary to reach some part of the structure for maintenance. The secondary objective of the module is to function as the main source of telecommunications since the low lunar temperatures, especially underground, allow the ideal use of high-temperature superconductors for the use of quantum servers in the module. These servers will help support future lunar missions, as well as create a direct path between Earth and the Moon, which in turn will create an independent network that will manage a possible lunar colony in the future. The reason the structure is underground is mainly to avoid extreme conditions on the moon, since being underground the structure does not directly receive solar radiation, avoiding damage to the superconductors. In this module, a prolonged human stay is not expected, only limited to the maintenance of the structure, this is because the structure system is autonomous and with security measures that depending on the damage received can change to a secondary source of energy or even be disabled to avoid further damage to the structure. Most of the structure will be made of titanium thanks to its resistance to various conditions. The main source of energy will be a mini nuclear reactor that will produce enough energy for the stability of the module and likewise the residual energy will be stored in lithium batteries in case of emergency or when it is necessary to maintain the nuclear reactor. Nuclear waste will be stored at the bottom of the structure so that it is easy to extract and treat in a more specialized location. With the specialization of this project it is also planned to serve as a new construction model that will serve for any required on the moon.
