SUMMARY:Lunar Habitats: More Than Engineering – Issues and Concepts
DESCRIPTION:Lecturer:Prof. Haym Benaroya\n Faculty:Department of Mechanical
  and Aerospace Engineering\n Institute:Rutgers University\n Location:Class
 room 165\, ground floor\, Library\, Aerospace Eng.\n Zoom: \n Abstract: \n
  Details: \n A summary of the lunar environment is provided as background 
 to the issues that await resolution by structural engineers who will desig
 n habitats for long-term stays on the Moon\, initially by pioneering astro
 nauts\, and eventually by people who will call the Moon their home.\nKey e
 nvironmental concerns are the radiation and micrometeoroid environment\, t
 he hard vacuum\, and the lack of atmosphere. The lunar dust poses a carcin
 ogenic hazard\, as well as an existential threat to engineered systems. St
 ructures need to be designed with an eye to the psychological wellbeing of
  the inhabitants.\nThis presentation provides an introduction into:\n• t
 he recent history of lunar habitat concepts\,\n• the space and lunar env
 ironment\,\n• physiological and psychological challenges\,\n• the econ
 omics of lunar habitats\n• some lunar habitat designs\, and\n• a sampl
 e design concept.\n\nA 16 m diameter inflatable habitat is depicted and co
 uld accommodate the needs of a dozen astronauts living and working on the 
 surface of the Moon. Depicted are astronauts exercising\, a base operation
 s center\, a pressurized lunar rover\, a small clean room\, a fully equipp
 ed life sciences lab\, a lunar lander\, selenological work\, hydroponic ga
 rdens\, a wardroom\, private crew quarters\, dust-removing devices for lun
 ar surface work\, and an airlock. The top level shows joggers required to 
 run with their bodies almost parallel to the floor as a result of the low 
 gravity. This artist’s concept reflects the evaluation and study at John
 son Space Center by the Man Systems Division and Johnson Engineering perso
 nnel. S89-20084\, July 1989. (Courtesy G. Kitmacher\, NASA)
