Innovations in Building Technologies for Habitable Housing on the Moon Using Local Lunar Resources as Building Materials

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: The article discusses the creation of a habitable dwelling on the Moon, suitable for a long-term mission of Earthlings on the Moon for research, work and comfortable living. The implementation of an inhabited dwelling with the maximum use of lunar resources and the possibilities of near space is proposed. In particular, solutions are given for energy supply by creating an "eternal day" in certain places by placing mirrors at Lagrange points in the Earth-Moon system, and original solutions for electrical and heat supply of a dwelling based on direct conversion of solar radiation and electrization of regolith, the design of an inhabited module with low heat loss, a heat supply system based on direct conversion of solar energy into thermal energy and the use of a heat accumulator, the use of 3D printing technology.
