The Moon is the only satellite of the Earth and the closest to the Earth, and the establishment of the first human extraterrestrial base on the Moon is the most achievable option. We established a base on the Moon to explore the sustainability of a man-made, independent survival system and to explore the impact of the Moon’s unique environment on human health and the feasibility of lunar medical rehabilitation to gain experience for further human exploration of space in the future. We designed a compound fertilizer tank to achieve self-sufficiency in vegetable cultivation and provide nutrition for the astronauts. A medical rehabilitation area was provided to safeguard the astronauts’ health and to conduct biomedical exploration. We have also brought dogs from Earth to accompany the astronauts and are experimenting with the possibility of other animals migrating to the outer space together. In order to facilitate the astronauts to reach each area, the base as a whole adopts a ring-shaped semi-encircled structure connecting each cabin, with a central hemispherical double-decker working bunker, the ring mainly contains living areas, health and rehabilitation areas, dining areas, and fitness areas.
The moon is the only satellite on the earth. It is the closest to the earth. Human beings have established the first extraterrestrial base on the moon.
Is the most achievable choice. We have established a base on the moon to explore the sustainability of artificial independent survival systems, and to explore the impact of the unique environment of the moon on human health and the feasibility of lunar medical rehabilitation, so as to accumulate experience for future human exploration of space. Field trials of medical rehabilitation may have a profound impact on human health research.
We decided to build the base near Shackleton Crater at the Moon’s south pole, first of all, because part of its crater wall is under almost constant sunlight, allowing for a continuous power supply.
Second, about 120 kilometers from the crater stands the 5-kilometer-high Malapert Mountain, a peak that is permanently visible from Earth and could serve as a radio relay station for communication with Earth with the installation of appropriate equipment.
Third, there are available water resources at the South Pole.
In combination with the monthly assembly and construction plan in the month, we use the micro -gravity three -dimensional printing technology to build a protective cover. It becomes a particularly pure glass material as the moonlight of the moon base. Smart devices such as intelligent excavation robots and consolidating monthly soil robots are used for monthly soil collection, backfilling, buried, and laying. The in situ resources of the monthly table can be greatly reduced to reduce the transportation pressure. Some structural components use shape memory alloys to reduce space and carry the space to ensure the accuracy of the device and easy to carry. The hard -to -build equipment requires the production module of the Earth to install it to the moon installation. These key precision equipment can be put into use after simple assembly, which improves efficiency and production difficulty.
Under the vacuum conditions on the surface of the moon, the thermal guidance rate of the moon is extremely low, which is a very good insulation layer. The ability of the moon to conduct heat is only one -tenth of the air. It can cover a layer of moon soil above 50cm on the surface of the base to prevent harmful universe radiation and avoid excessive temperature during the day and over -cooling at night. The ring skeleton on the outside provides support and protection for the base. Our base adopts a circular integrated structure to connect each cabin to avoid the astronauts’ heavy space uniforms in each area. Our medical rehabilitation zone provides treatment for the damage that astronauts may encounter.
In addition to the water carried from the earth when landing, we will fully collect the water resources of the moon table, and use purifying equipment to recycling polluted water resources during daily operations. Multi -channel guarantee water supply.
The space of the moon base is valuable. For food crops, these long-term and portable objects are carried from the earth. However, for vegetables, which are short-term preservation but are necessary for long-term residence, we choose to grow on the second floor of the base.
The construction of solar power station makes full use of the abundant solar energy resources in the Antarctic. The flexible gallium arsenide solar cell has good radiation resistance, high temperature resistance and photoelectric conversion rate of 30 % ! We use fuel cells as a reserve energy source to provide backup power when solar energy is insufficient or unexpectedly lost. The energy cabin and the main console can monitor and schedule the energy situation.
The fuel cell system in the energy cabin can provide oxygen by electrolyzing water, and the plants in the base can also absorb carbon dioxide to provide oxygen. Air purification and air conditioning equipment keep the air temperature and fresh. Algae in the microbial tank can also supply oxygen.
We designed the microbial fertilizer tank, and put the astronauts’ metabolic waste into it as one of the raw materials to provide fertilizer for the vegetables we grow on the base, reducing the pressure on the lunar base to store and dispose of the astronauts’ metabolic waste while achieving strong plant growth and material circulation in the artificial system.
Based on the fact that our base is located near the Moon’s south polar crater Sharkton, we took advantage of the terrain to install a signal tower 120 km away on Mount Malapert, a peak that is permanently visible from Earth, to act as a radio relay station for communication with Earth. We also placed a signal transmitter above the main part of the base to transmit and receive signals from the tower.
Human disease rehabilitation and microbiology research are the focus of our research, and the advanced experimental equipment of the Medical Rehabilitation Module monitors the astronauts’ physical changes in real time, thus providing data to explore the potential medical rehabilitation potential of the special lunar environment (e.g., microgravity). Our use of microbial fertilizers is a vivid practice in the exploration of the material cycle of man-made ecosystems. In addition, we go out on lunar rovers to collect lunar resources and perform physicochemical analysis at the base.
To help astronauts prepare for a mission to the Moon, the following are the elements of my proposed astronaut training program:
Knowledge of physics and engineering: Astronauts need to understand basic physics concepts such as gravity, inertia, momentum, and energy, as well as engineering knowledge of spacecraft structure, mechanics, electronics, and communications. Each astronaut should also have his or her own area of expertise.
Space Environment and Life Support Systems Learning: Astronauts need to understand the special conditions of the space environment such as radiation, microgravity, and vacuum, and how to design and operate life support systems to ensure the safety of astronauts’ lives. Master the principles of biotechnology and rehabilitation and complete experiments on biorehabilitation.
be familiar with spacecraft operation and maintenance: astronauts need to learn how to operate and maintain spacecraft, including knowledge of flight control, navigation, attitude control, energy management, etc.
Knowledge of spacewalks and lunar missions: Astronauts need to learn how to conduct spacewalks and lunar missions, including knowledge of how to wear a space suit, operate a lunar rover, and collect samples.
Excellent teamwork and psychological quality: Astronauts need to learn how to work together in a team, how to deal with emergencies and stress, and how to maintain mental health.
Improved emergency response skills: Astronauts need to learn how to respond to a variety of emergencies, including loss of pressure, weightlessness, fire, and power failures.(237words)
In future missions to the Moon, more high-tech spacecraft may be developed, such as faster, more flexible lunar rovers and more advanced lunar landers.
The vehicles found in lunar camps could be lunar rovers made of space materials. These vehicles should have tires suitable for the lunar surface, be able to move quickly and flexibly, and carry a variety of different scientific instruments and equipment. The lunar rovers should be autonomous and can be remotely controlled or pre-routed to conduct surveys and investigations of the surrounding environment.
A reliable, economical, and efficient transportation technology is needed for travel to and from Earth. It may utilize space-atmosphere gliding technology or solar sail technology to reduce fuel usage. In terms of exploring new destinations, exploratory research to the Moon’s South Pole may be considered. Exploration teams could use lunar rovers to travel to these destinations and collect samples and data.
