Research on Building Plans Design for Future China Lunar Base

Abstract

In this article，the general principles of lunar building，including demand-orientation，intensive planning module extension，in-situ utilization, and Earth-Moon combination were discussed. Based on the two different construction environments of the moon surface and the moon pit，the “Clover” and the “Red Star” lunar building schemes were systematically proposed，and main key construction technologies needed to be broken through in advance were provided.

Keywords

lunar base / lunar building / key technology / design scheme
