LUNAR BASE DESIGN AND OPERATION STUDY I (LB-DAOS I)

摘要

This paper focuses on the actual case studies - scenarios of the Lunar Base Design And Operation Study I (LB-DAOS I) for further lunar exploration. The study started with the Lunar Base Design Workshop, a two-week programme conducted in cooperation with ESA-ESTEC, held from june 10th-21st 2002. Initially three scenarios considered as the most relevant for further Human Lunar exploration with a permanent Lunar outpost were investigated: 1-Scenario: Lunar Telescope Mission 2 -Scenario: Lunar Solar Power Factory Mission 3 -Scenario: Lunar Ice Mission These case studies developed into six different mission scenarios including ice mining, solar cell production, lunar telescopes, He3 mining, research and commercial operations. Each of these scenarios ranging from initial small scale scientific research outposts to commercial larger bases focussed on a timeframe between 2020 to 2090 to establish permanent habitats on the lunar surface.
