ISRU BASED BUILDING CONCEPT FOR PRODUCING MULTIFUNCTIONAL LUNAR BUILDINGS.

2009 
Summary: According to the ISRU, during the con-struction process of Lunar buildings based on our concept the usage of local materials (preferably regolith), and technologies which enables constructing with local mate-rials, should be a primary concern. Joining to previous publications: In our previous publications [1,2,3] we have explained how can structures for industrial or human use with a great inner volume be built in the lunar surface or underground. In this abstract we would like to emphasise, why can these structures be easily built with the utilization of ISRU, unlike other methods which require equipment transported from Earth. Our aim: It is more beneficial to construct Lunar buildings from local materials instead of equipment transported from Earth. During the upcoming Lunar mis-sions, the construction of Lunar buildings with proper functions and designs will be important. Practical issues: Main goals of Lunar building con-struction: - Industrial activities, - Human habitat. In apro-pos of these, some of the possible utilizations: -supplemental and other services, for example: storage for a longer or shorter period of time, storage of the machines materials or other equipment used on the surface. - To accomodate the life support systems (energy source, wa-ter, oxygen supply units, telecommunications), - Trans-portation, Placement for the vehicles used in the earth-moon contact, - Equipments for the possible further (Mars or other ) missions.
