The main use of the Full Moon base is for tourism. It is a place that uses the moon’s own resources to provide places and services for visitors who have the spirit to explore the moon and want to experience the history of lunar exploration.
We modularize the base into living area, sightseeing area and energy area. The sightseeing area has a variety of sightseeing methods for tourists to choose. The energy area provides tourists with food and energy, water and energy, air and electric energy, etc., so as to maintain the operation of the base and tourists’ normal life and sightseeing activities.
In terms of interior layout, we will start from the aspects of color and layout to make tourists’ sightseeing trip beautiful and unforgettable. Meanwhile, we will introduce smart home to make the base more intelligent and convenient.
We plan to build a base on the moon for visitors to enjoy it. We provide visitors withtelescopes,spacecraft,sightseeing buses and other play tools. Visitors to our base can observe other planet nebulae in space through telescopes,and they can take a sightseeing bus to punch in the traces left on the moon,or even take a spaceship to travel in space.
The main purpose of our base is tourism, so that more people can feel the charm of the moon, feel the charm of the universe. The Full Moon base is a big step towards the moon. Full Moon, meaning full moon, expresses the high expectations of human exploration of the moon and possibly the moon as a second home in the future. Our base uses the moon’s own resources to provide places and services for visitors who have the spirit to explore the moon and want to experience the history of lunar exploration.
We decided on Mount Maraport near Shackleton Crater on the moon’s South Pole. We keep the base running with an 80-90% light cycle. At the same time, it has incomparable geographical advantages for us to carry out lunar tourism. One is that Mount Malabert will be exposed to sunlight most of the time, and the solar arrays will get almost continuous power. The second is that Maraport would provide line-of-sight communication over a large area of the moon, as well as to Earth. The third is that other nearby craters may contain valuable hydrogen and other volatiles. The nearby Shackleton Crater is potentially valuable for astronomical observations and the mountain could shield radio telescopes from radio interference.
In the first phase, we will ship giant 3D printers, robots, radiation-proof dome structures and more to the moon. After finding a suitable location for the base construction, we will carry out reasonable modifications, such as repairing the uneven surface of the moon, so as to facilitate the printing and living of lunar resources in the later stage. The robot then unfurls the inflatable film from the soil and covers the outer surface of the film with a protective layer of geopolymer concrete (mainly made up of lunar geopolymer mixtures and urea) that has extreme environmental and vacuum resistance. In addition, we also used barium silicate glass with excellent radiation resistance in the dome structure, so that visitors can observe the moon and the universe. In the second stage, we will send various equipment to the moon to maintain the operation of the base, so as to form a sound and controllable ecological security system. In the third stage, the living quarters will be further expanded for tourism activities after the astronauts determine the stability of the base several times.
According to the lunar situation, there are generally the following scenarios:
Meteorites: The establishment of a base in the polar regions reduces the probability of meteorites falling, and the base’s radar monitoring the surrounding environment at all times, so that timely measures can be taken.
Radiation: Radiation resistance is mainly through radiation proof barium silicate glass.
Temperature difference: geopolymer concrete can effectively resist vacuum and extreme temperature difference, and we provide visitors with radiation-proof clothing to ensure their safety. In case of emergency, there are several pods for visitors to return to Earth.
Water ice and moon soil are the main water resources in the lunar base, which can be obtained by high temperature decomposition. High temperature can be achieved by concentrating sunlight. We will control the water production to meet the normal demand.
Establish planting silos and hydroponic systems to bring seeds from the earth and realize ecological circulation.
In our energy system, in order to adapt to the lunar environment and provide long-term and stable energy for the lunar camp, we have adopted two methods: photovoltaic power system and nuclear power system. Photovoltaic power generation equipment makes full use of the solar energy during the day to provide electricity for the base; The plant releases nuclear energy through the fission of atomic nuclei to provide power to the base. At the same time, we will establish comprehensive energy management equipment to monitor the overall working condition of the base, and manage and timely adjust the dispatch.
Air is an important part of ecology. We set up the oxygen chamber. Single-celled algae have a strong ability to release oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide. Soil or rock on the moon is melted by electrolysis, and oxygen is released from the melt in the form of bubbles. Normally, when heated to 1600 to 2500 degrees, oxygen-containing rock masses decompose to produce oxygen. Hydroelectricity can use more water to produce oxygen.
The waste produced by tourists on the moon will be collected together by robots and processed centrally. First, the garbage is sorted out to remove the garbage that can be recycled. The rest of the garbage is degraded by microorganisms, and some of the garbage is compressed and launched back to the earth for treatment. The resulting wastewater will be distilled, separated and filtered into clean water for reuse.
Our base will build a moon network, which will be connected to the Earth through the Internet, providing wireless connectivity and services for the moon, so that visitors can connect to the Internet in our base and share their feelings with family and friends on Earth. Our base can also capture some signals in space, and also receive electromagnetic waves from other lunar bases using radar and other communications vehicles.
Our focus is on travel and entertainment. We collect and send data information through the big data system of the base. Visitors can know whether spacecraft, lunar sightseeing car frequency and lunar self-driving car are idle through Bing Dwen Dwen or the large screen in the hall, so that tourists can freely choose sightseeing methods and sightseeing time. Visitors can take a ride on a lunar tour car equipped with a robot docent to punch in the traces left by previous people on the moon. Visitors can also experience the charm of the universe by flying in spaceships equipped with robotic interpreters who will explain the features of the major galaxies and answer questions. We also have observatories for visitors to look up close into space and study astronomy through telescopes. Visitors can also drive a self-propelled lunar vehicle equipped with a positioning and tracking system to parade within a safe range and contact the base at any time. At the same time, we launched smart home, where smart robots can connect to the base’s big data operating system to monitor changes in oxygen concentration, temperature and humidity in the base in real time, so that the system can make timely adjustments. Visitors can also transmit information to the system anytime and anywhere through smart robots or mobile phone platforms, such as setting an alarm clock before going to bed. The next day, the system will remind visitors through bright lights or music and prepare food in time. Visitors can also send the desired food and meal time to the system to provide better service.
For the base staff:
First of all, physical quality training, psychological ability to improve training.
Secondly, learn certain medical knowledge, spacecraft design principles, meteorology, astronomy, equipment testing and other basic knowledge of space.
Then, training to use the various equipment of the base to understand the structure of the base.
Finally, conduct emergency drills and the planning and prediction of escape routes.
For tourists:
First, we will arrange a physical examination for the visitors. Pick out visitors who are not fit to board the moon, and state the risks of pulling them out.
Secondly, we will strengthen the physical training for the tourists to increase their physical quality.
Then, we will give the visitors an emergency escape description.
Finally, we will introduce the overview of our base so that they can have a certain understanding of our base.
At first, we will use the rocket engine, the launch vehicle and the space station, and then return to the earth through the self-built re-entry module. The vehicles of our lunar base include spacecraft, lunar sightseeing vehicle, lunar self-driving car, re-entry capsule and so on. We can travel through the space, feel the charm of the universe; we can through the moon sightseeing truck to explore the traces of the moon, understand the lunar exploration program; we can drive through the moon through the safe range of the moon surface, feel the hazy and unknown; our return capsule for tourists and employees to the earth and transport supplies. Our base will have professionals to explore the surface of the moon, study whether it is suitable for tourists to enjoy free sightseeing, and expand the safety range of tourists to improve the fun of tourists and ensure the safety of tourists.
