| This is the primary habitation module designed for use on SSF or lunar base. The habitation module is a complex of four Space Station Command Modules connected by a node. The quarters provided by the basic hab are relatively cramped and uncomfortable. | |||||
| Inflatable medium-sized habitation module which provides more comfortable crew accommodations than the basic hab. | |||||
| Largest habitation module available, provides the most comfortable crew quarters as well as extensive common areas which help crew morale. | |||||
| Habitation module designed for recreational facilities these are needed to help keep the crew's morale high. | |||||
| Hotel for tourists visiting the Moon. Tourists from Earth are interested in visiting interesting surface features on the moon and historic sites. |
| Module dedicated to scientific research and experimentation. Research carried out in the Moonbase Science Labs can lead to discoveries in nuclear fusion as well as processes to produce improved electronics in the Moonbase Electronics Plants and improved solar power cells in the Moonbase Materials Plants. | |||||
| Module designed to house astronomy equipment and crew. The astronomy facilities are self-contained and do not require power and thermal control. | |||||
| Greenhouses are facilities for growing food which can help reduce the annual resupply costs and help make the base self-sufficient. |
| Power plant that uses nuclear fission reactions to generate power. | ||||
| Power system that converts solar energy to electrical power. | ||||
| Nuclear power plant using fusion reactions to generate power. This is a cleaner, safer way to generate power than nuclear fission. |
| Landing pad for lunar landers. Landing pads make it safer for lander operations and reduce the odds of landers crashing. As your base grows large the number of lander flights increases so the need for landing pads grows. | ||||
| Communication equipment for contacting Earth. | ||||
| Maintenance/repair facilities for base hardware. Building maintenance facilities helps to reduce the annual hardware resupply costs. |
| Water mining/processing facility. Water Processing Plants must be placed at a site that contains water. Water can be located by explorations. | |||||
| Lunar-derived Liquid OXygen production plant. LLOX plants extract oxygen by a reduction process from lunar regolith. Each facility requires a Mobil Oxygen Miner to supply it with raw material. | |||||
| The Mobile Oxygen Miner digs up regolith and transports it to the Oxygen Processing Plant. Three Miners are needed to supply each LLOX Processing Plant. | |||||
| Helium-3 mining/processing facility. This is a mobile miner and processor. Helium-3 is available is such small quantities that the volume of regolith that must be processed is extremely large | |||||
| Plant for producing solar cells from lunar materials. | |||||
| Plant for producing electronics components for lunar materials. Electronics produced on the Moon have to compete with those produced at the space stations and a other lunar bases. |
| The radiators are the primary component of the base thermal control system. A heat exchange fluid is circulated through the building on the base and then piped to the radiators where the heat is exchanged and radiated into space. |
