| ID No : | 17 Edit | Title: | A Near-Term, Long-Duration Lunar Outpost Design |
| Summary / Review : |
The focus of this paper is shielding requirements to protect people from space radiation and meteoroids for a lunar base. Citing previous reports calling for shielding of 0.5m to 4.7m (depending upon biological model, acceptable risk, and crew rotation period), a long duration lunar base option was designed as follows: excavation of 6.5 meters depth and 30 meter width minus sloped sides, floor formation, 4.5m tall habitat(s) elevated a meter off the floor, a roof supported by a double truss structure emplaced at ground level and rising to 3.8 meters above the surface, and lunar regolith filling up the roof structure. - MP
