A Start of a Litany of Research Needs Some Industrialization Vectors A start of a Litany of Research Needs • Living Underground, with Sunlight and views • Music with instruments made on Moon • Small market ariety in made-on-Luna goods • Sports fun to play & watch in lunar gravity • Growing plants during day/night cycle • Experimenting glass-glass composites • Make locally, import: the MUS/cle strategy • wastewater drainage recycling systems • Robot-insect assistants for many tasks • Biosphere / “modular” biosphere systems • Ways to store dayspan power for nightspan use • Probes for subsurface voids – lavatubes • Liquid airlock systems for small cargo items • Designing better space suits/airlocks • Designing cities with their own biospheres • Extending the limits of teleoperation • Husbanding scarce water reserves • Positive uses for water under treatment • Redesigning industrial systems to recycle water • Unique lunar surface vehicles• • Harvest precious solar wind volatiles Some Industrialization vectors Beneficiating “poor lunar ores” Sintered Iron Products Glass-glass Composites Glass, Ceramics, Concrete Colors in paints, ceramic glazes, glass etc. import packaging our of needed elements Taking Silicone down paths not trodden Experimenting with Sulfur composites Electricl systems and superconductivity Lighting systems – light without the heat Many things need to be pre-developed if the first humans to return to the Moon are igoing to be the first of many, some of whom will choose to stay and create a new frontier. We also look into ways to get some of this research done early, so that once we do return to the Moon, we are not scratching our heads for what to do next for another few decades. Involving entrepreneurs to pre-develop those tcchnologies that have promising profitable terrestrial applications – here and now for those profits, is one way: the “spin-up” process. The University of Luna Project, which would coordinate research done in industrial labs as well as on university campuses is another. Without an intensive efort, we’ll be stuck with another Antarctica.

Veronika Ondryášová AUTHOR VEDOUCÍ PRÁCE prof. Ing. RUDOLF HELA, CSc. SUPERVISOR BRNO 2018 1 2 3 Abstrakt Diplomová práce se zaměřuje na problematiku vlivu vlastností vstupních surovin pro výrobu kvalitních povrchů architektonických betonů. V úvodní části je popsána definice architektonického betonu a také výhody a nevýhody jeho realizace. V dalších kapitolách jsou uvedeny charakteristiky, dávkování či chemické složení vstupních materiálů. Kromě návrhu receptury je důležitým parametrem pro vytvoření kvalitního povrchu betonu zhutňování, precizní uložení do bednění a následné ošetřování povrchu. Popsány jsou také jednotlivé druhy architektonických betonů, jejich způsob vyrábění s uvedenými příklady na konkrétních realizovaných stavbách. V praktické části byly navrženy 4 receptury, kde se měnil druh nebo dávkování vstupních surovin. Při tvorbě receptur byl důraz kladen především na minimální segregaci čerstvého betonu a omezení vzniku pórů na povrchu ztvrdlého betonu. Klíčová slova Architektonický beton, vstupní suroviny, bednění, separační prostředky, cement, přísady, pigment. Abstract This diploma thesis focuses on the influence of properties of feedstocks for the production of quality surfaces of architectural concrete. The introductory part describes the definition of architectural concrete with the advantages and disadvantages of its implementation. In the following chapters, the characteristics, the dosage or the chemical composition of the input materials are given. Besides the design of the mixture, important parameters for the creation of a quality surface of concrete are compaction, precise placement in formwork and subsequent treatment of the surface.

  • Why Lunar Exploration?
    Why lunar exploration? • The Moon gives witness of 4.5 billion years solar system history, particularly for the Earth-Moon system • Planetary processes can be studied in its simple state – Initial crust development – Differentiation – Impact and chronology – Volcanism und thermal evolution – Regolith processes and the early sun – Regolith processes and the current sun (evidence for global change) • Unique environment – Polar regions with ice? – Exosphere (space/surface interactions) – Stable platform Earth-Moon System • Unique constellation – compelling essential? – random? •Origin – mega-impact? – other reasons? • End-members of planetary evolution – dynamically changing young Earth – stable, cold, old Moon – fundamental for understanding planetary evolution • Stabilization of the system? – stability of the Earth’s climate? – implications for the evolution of life? Impact und impact chronology • Lunar surface keeps a unique record of 4.5 billion years of small body flux in the inner solar system. – The accuracy of dating planetary surfaces and extrapolation of impact chronology to the outer solar system depends on the exact knowledge of the lunar chronology. – Datation of the origin and evolution of life on Earth (e.g. »sterilization events«). – Implication of impact-induced »faunal break« on evolution – Knowledge about the hazard of earth crossing asteroids Geophysics: the “Core” • The internal structure of the Moon is still unresolved – (Mega-)Regolith/Crust – Mantle – Core? – Density increases towards the center but much less than on Earth – Models are ambiguous due to the poor knowledge about density and thickness of the individual parts Fe-Core with a radius of 220-450 km, about 5% of the lunar mass seems feasible (Earth’s core covers 33% of the total mass) (Bild: C.

  • Determining the Slag Fraction, Water/Binder Ratio and Degree of Hydration in 2 Hardened Cement Pastes 3 4 * 5 M.H.N
    Cement & Concrete Research (2014) 56, 171-181 1 Determining the slag fraction, water/binder ratio and degree of hydration in 2 hardened cement pastes 3 4 * 5 M.H.N. Yio , J.C. Phelan, H.S. Wong and N.R. Buenfeld 6 7 8 Concrete Durability Group, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Imperial College London, SW7 2AZ, 9 UK 10 11 12 Abstract 13 14 15 A method for determining the original mix composition of hardened slag-blended cement-based materials based on 16 analysis of backscattered electron images combined with loss on ignition measurements is presented. The method does 17 not require comparison to reference standards or prior knowledge of the composition of the binders used. Therefore, it 18 is well-suited for application to real structures. The method is also able to calculate the degrees of reaction of slag and 19 cement. Results obtained from an experimental study involving sixty samples with a wide range of water/binder (w/b) 20 ratios (0.30 to 0.50), slag/binder ratios (0 to 0.6) and curing ages (3 days to 1 year) show that the method is very 21 promising. The mean absolute errors for the estimated slag, water and cement contents (kg/m3), w/b and s/b ratios were 22 9.1%, 1.5%, 2.5%, 4.7% and 8.7%, respectively. 91% of the estimated w/b ratios were within 0.036 of the actual values. 23 24 25 Keywords: Backscattered electron imaging; Image analysis; Slag; Water-binder ratio; Degree of hydration 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 * Corresponding author.

  • The Peaks of Eternal Light
    The Peaks of Eternal Light: a Near-term Property Issue on the Moon Martin Elvis a,1, Tony Milligan b, Alanna Krolikowskic a Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, 60 Garden St., Cambridge MA 02138, USA; [email protected]; b Department of Theology and Religious Studies, King’s College London, Virginia Wolf Building, 22 Kingsway, London WC2B 6NR. c Georg-August Universität Göttingen, Heinrich-Düker-Weg 14, 37073, Göttingen, Germany; [email protected] ABSTRACT The Outer Space Treaty makes it clear that the Moon is the ‘province of all mankind’, with the latter ordinarily understood to exclude state or private appropriation of any portion of its surface. However, there are indeterminacies in the Treaty and in space law generally over the issue of appropriation. These indeterminacies might permit a close approximation to a property claim or some manner of ‘quasi-property’. The recently revealed highly inhomogeneous distribution of lunar resources changes the context of these issues. We illustrate this altered situation by considering the Peaks of Eternal Light. They occupy about one square kilometer of the lunar surface. We consider a thought experiment in which a Solar telescope is placed on one of the Peaks of Eternal Light at the lunar South pole for scientific research. Its operation would require non- disturbance, and hence that the Peak remain unvisited by others, effectively establishing a claim of protective exclusion and de facto appropriation. Such a telescope would be relatively easy to emplace with today’s technology and so poses a near-term property issue on the Moon.
