Design of the Lunar BOWIE

摘要

With the recent interest in establishing a permanent Lunar outpost, Space Oddities has designed a modular base vehicle capable of meeting this unprecedented challenge. Space Oddities is proposing the Lunar Base Outfitted With Interchangeability and Expandability (Lunar BOWIE) in response to the 2020 American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Lunar Base Camp (LBC) Design Competition. Space Oddities' goal is not only to put humans back on the Moon but also lay the foundations for a permanent lunar base and support future deep space science and exploration missions to Mars and other targets. The Lunar BOWIE will serve as a first phase lunar base camp that will ensure the survivability and habitability fora crew of four fora nominal mission period of 45 days, with considerations of both their physical and mental well-being. Moreover, Space Oddities has designed the Lunar BOWIE with modularity in mind to allow for future lunar base camp expansion and resupply for extensibility of crewed missions, while still accomplishing the scientific and exploration goals of the mission. Space Oddities is looking to send and deploy the Lunar BOWIE by the 31st of December 2030 and within the budget of I2B 2019 US Dollars.
