Lunar Resources, Inc.
Phase 1
I work at Lunar Resources and I am the principle investigator for the Lunar Far side Observatory
Resolved key architectural issues, no problems proceeding
What are we trying to do in our study?
This observatory will open on the far side of the lunar far side, enabling tehnologies and extracted lunar issues including the antennas on the power structure
Unprecedented insight, nearby exoplanets and the solar system
This will provide photos of the solar system every few moments
This advancement will have a very broad approach and impact on solar panels, batteries and arrays
When the first stars had yet to form, to do this. We will use a 21 cm signal, a large number of dipoles
Cosmic dawn and identifies the remain that will remain with that score
New insights into the physics and the cosmological models
Localizing electron shock etc…
Detect radio emissions from exoplanets and radio transient objects
Molten electrolysis to convert raw materials into metal and oxygen
Vapor deposition technology
Specific design for Farview Iis currently at TRL 5
During lunar day and lunar night, resilient and adaptable, science needs and a better lunar environment
Architecture and approach
Each array contains 500-600 dipole antennas and 150-200 subarrays will be prepared
Our poster shows a map of the lunar far side… so how do we actually build farview?
Multiple manufacturing rovers and a single processing facility
The RPS thermal design allows it to survive the lunar night
From the third day forward, construction rovers will build the necessary power infrastructure, growing as more subarrays come online
The construction will only be done in both lunar day and lunar night.
Occasional replenishment from earth, otherwise virtually no maintenance needed.
The ability to land hundreds of tons of materials…
Fairview will be imaged because of the lunar sky on the horizon including CMEs, allowing new insights into this phenomenon
Beam integrity to do science
Do you have to use aluminum? What about sodium or mg?
The process used to extract the metals, aluminum is abundant enough to give us all of the material we need.
Infrastructure costs for landers and such
Our hardware is actually really inexpensive, and lower cost than any of the conventional system methods…
Shown the gravity to work with regulith…
Is there any information on the rovers?
Astrobotic and their demands are similar to what we expect for the rovers?
The second part of the question answered most of the question at large
How are you powering these rovers when you are in production mode?
One thing the rovers can do is to build solar arrays
We can talk to astrobotic and we can build a kilowatt array and supply power as needed
Where to see other applications with the regulate process etc… for Farview, someone with the metals and people with the processing units we can produce any metals that we wish, it is a versatile way to provide habitats or anything that people might want
The array will be tunable, it comes to the separations of the dipoles and the analysis that we would do
We can basically design it as we go etc…
How do we extract the aluminum etc?
We input the regulith and use electrolysis and move them to a purification site and we have all the metals we need
How to manage the poor power factor or low power?
We have the ability to supply whatever is needed
The power is not an issue for us
