PRELUDE

WHERE TO

THE RETURN

BREAKOUT AGENDA

ISRU - development of local resources

Raw regolith-based materials

  • Sintered regolith products
Exterior paving
Shielding systems
Unpressurized structures
  • Cast basalt products
Furnishings
Flooring
Regolith handling components

Raw glass uses

  • Indoor furnishings
  • Artwork
  • Tableware

Minimally processed regolith products

  • Glass-glass composites
Habitat modules
Table tops
Tiles
Spaceframe spars
other
  • Fiberglass reinforced concrete
Habitat modules
Outside building components
other
  • Sintered iron fines
Sundry small low performance components
other

Production of key elements

  • Oxygen for air, fuel, fuel cells
  • Silicon for solar cells
  • Iron, aluminum, titanium, magnesium
  • Sulfur, sodium, potassium, phosphorus
  • Chromium
  • Thorium
  • Metal oxide colorants,
  • other

Processing suites/cascades e.g. ilmenite: O>Fe>Ti>Tailings

Gas scavenging - harvesting Solar Wind donations

  • Hydrogen
  • Helium(4) and He3
  • Argon and Neon
  • Nitrogen
  • Carbon

KREEP Potassium, Rare Earth Elements, Phosphorus

Specially enriched regolith areas

  • Low titanium basalt
  • High titanium basalt, ilmenite
  • Highland material
  • KREEP splashout (Potassium, Rare earth Elements, Phosphorus)
  • Central peek mantle extrusions
  • other

Polar water-ice harvesting

  • Ground truth assessments, quantity, extent, concentration, extraction options
  • Coldtraps nearest to mare/highland shores
  • Carbon oxide ices
  • Other ices
  • Ice refinery products
Pipeline materials
Methane
Ammonia
Water
Ice

Expansion Technologies

Prioritizing outfitting products for imported inflatables

Modular architecture languages

Modular biospherics

Modules made-on-Luna of lunar materials

Expansion Priorities

New capabilities, facilities, operations, industries, recreations

Increasing biosphere diversity

Increasing crop diversity & cuisine menu options

Expansion Human Factors

Allowing tour of duty extensions

Allowing fraternization, relationships

Morale perks

  • More personal elbow room
  • Customizable quarters
  • Flextime scheduling
  • Arts & crafts using regolith-derived media
  • Introducing lunar holidays, special festivities
  • Fostering an "at home on the Moon" culture
  • Physical fitness, exercise, sports, dance facilities
  • Garden-enriched food & menu diversity
  • Allowing births
  • Finding weight-pulling functions for youth, retirees
  • Escape valves (import bazaar, getaways, changes of pace, job switches, travel options)

Allowing burial on the Moon

SETTLEMENT GROWTH

TRADE AND THE BOTTOM LINE

HEALTHY CITIZENS

UNIVERSITY OF LUNA
