Architecture of Lunar Settlements

For thousands of years, people have been striving for cosmic infinity, creating fantastic works dedicated to exploration of the vast universe, but only now, at the beginning of the 21st century, we can design real and quite feasible space settlement projects with hope looking to the present and the future. Today, space powers resume the lunar race and plan to explore the Moon and Mars in the very near future, placing settlements on their surface. It is planned to start construction with the help of robotic technology, subsequently developing the possibility of a long-term human stay on the surface of the Moon and Mars, providing researchers with complete safety and reliable life support system. Purpose : The main purpose of the study is to develop a lunar settlement project that can provide the most comfortable conditions for long-term living and work for researchers on the lunar surface. Methodology : The analysis of modern lunar exploration projects. Research findings : The proposed design solution includes a preliminary design of a lunar base, demonstrating the possibility of gradual lunar exploration based on modern technologies and safety requirements.
