Sustainable Space Colony Swarm Architecture A SPACE COLONY AND ITS SUPPORTING SWARM ARCHITECTURE Basic principles & preconditions Main focus Global solution the needs and goals of people sufficient room and the natural habitat that our body and mind needs A collaborative network Safety and Security Services with a sufficiently large population, with a large variety in ages, types of people and skills of a space colony extensively supported on many levels and its supporting swarm architecture Collision Prevention Services Holistic approach With multiple habitats, with for object impact defense, multi-layer architecture support from Earth mostly autonomous, consisting of Safe & robust support from celestial bodies: multiple types of telescopes Moon, Venus, Mars and Asteroids distributed information artificial gravity, radiation protection, atmosphere, water, food and light support in space: and knowledge processing robustness by default: safety, energy, flight vector adjustment services, compartmentalization, logistics, manufacturing by autonomous unit(s) distributed implementation, cloud overblow facility multilayer redundancy with fallback, With a space armada backup facilities & resources at Lagrangian points: Remote controlled repairs fleet impact and collision prevention clouds of space stations, Environment sustainability services with settlements, Mindset for humans, flora and fauna manufacturing, either safe or not, with regular internal and external evacuation drills air and water purification energy supply artificial gravity provisioning Sustainable ` and science stations radiation protection solar energy unless around that cloud a protecting swarm temperature control reuse physical resources (building, equipment, parts, air, food, water,...) and a generic logistics fleet medical services Autonomous Information security and self-supporting stations, segments and modules confidentiality, integrity and availability Evolutionary approach standing on the shoulders of the scientists before us (O’Niell cylinder, Stanford torus, Bishop Ring, McKendree cylinder,...) continuing the work of organizations Manufacturing Services like ESA, NASA, Roscosmos, ISRO and CNSA and commercial organizations like Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin and SpaceX Creating, expanding Learn from and mimicking nature and repairing photosynthesis, self-replication, symbiotic mutualism, multi-layer collaborative networks on Earth Logistic Services International cooperation is a prerequisite initial implementation using the power of economy and business, the power of collaboration, and later special components Launch and land standardization and a modular approach on celestial bodies Spirit on Earth permanent settlements on Moon, ongoing evolution of current devices learning and progressing, with optimism and determination, later on Mars and Asteroids, agile and flexible, also in development and maintenance, using local resources and raw materials on Moon and later on Asteroids assuming e.g. Moore’s Law and anticipating great new discoveries and inventions to deliver high-quality building material launch via induction based in form of standard modules electromagnetic mass driver landing assisted by from Venus a swarm of autonomous vehicles, propellant gas from Venus atmosphere together extending a landing net, Habitat Services in space matching the impact vector, Multiple permanent residential settlements a manufacturing complex with optionally extended with a harbor for incoming materials a cushion structure, starting with 2 and product delivery launched from a mobile platform building more, different sizes and shapes, resembling villages storage space towards the approaching object sufficiently large multifarious population manufacturing space and automatically surrounding it each 500-1000 people of all ages, plus flora and fauna assembly in absence of (on Asteroids: gravity and atmosphere sufficient room and the natural habitat train tracks instead of vehicles) support facilities that the human body and mind needs, on Mars energy supply swarm of drones including both individual and shared areas materials processing for privacy, work and leisure connecting to the approaching object and recycling and facilitating smooth descend with a main focus on wellbeing and sustainability ICT and touchdown respecting psychology, spirituality and quality of life living quarters Example form: Propulsion & maneuvering gas based propulsion, a rotating capsule no debris (future impact prevention) of a cylinder of 400 m long, a radius of 80 m, harvesting gas for rocket fuel half spheres at the endpoints, 3 times 3 spokes and a thick axis, by balloons in Venus atmosphere, surrounded by counter-rotating cylindric skin layer; or chemically from raw materials this could support 1000 people and the cylinder is large enough modular replenishable auto-attaching to prevent motion sickness due to Coriolis forces acting on the inner ear steering thrusters, the skin layer including autonomous containing solar panels, cameras replacement services a shield with solids (e.g. moon sand), fluids and gasses Energy Services reusable thrust rocket stages, protecting against object impacts and radiation including autonomous power storage, balancing energy demand & supply, Abundant energy facilitates replenishment services among others by using temperature of skin elements Generation object push services and pressure in gas between batteries default solar, Transport and logistics counter-rotating to cancel out and use gyroscopic effects, on skins using wedge-shaped segments in a flexible roof tile layout, to and from surface, high atmosphere, in dedicated solar arrays, orbit and locations in space for 3D mass distribution adjustment, for adjustment of the gyroscopic effect in space and near settlements (wedges in roof tile layout, retaining radiation shielding) to and from space colony for robustness and redundancy and its supporting swarm architecture, the cylindrical decks layer also some chemical and nuclear and existing space objects multiple decks with living quarters, work areas, shared spaces and agriculture Storage like ISS, satellites, research facilities standard dimensions, can be flexibly combined energy storage with payload carrier or pushed with flow of air, water, conduits in floor and/or ceiling, also using inertia (rotating masses) for replenishment, supply and disposal and temperature control outmost layer with water and air, for purification, storage and temperature control Transfer windows in the inner rim looking inwards to the axis, spokes and harbors energy transfer services decks expandable to inside between containers, wired or contactless the skin layer and decks layer energy form transfer services different angular velocity (electricity - chemical - nuclear) separated by electromagnetism Coherence Services which is also used to transfer power between layers via induction Usage mainly electricity, Coordination and management the spokes and the axis gas for propulsion mainly used for science, industry and supporting systems modular & replaceable, Physical keep the armada together central facilities including storage, power processing, chemical processing, IT equipment using standard location, movement, solar focus also some manufacturing and repairs, facilitated by the low gravity small maneuvering thrusters Communication the half spheres and large replenishable rockets multiple types, robust, redundant, resilient contain docking stations with rails leading to internal harbors Collect and share knowledge and with communication arrays Energy balancing angular rotation Contact Standards generated via strategic docking during construction architecture Temporary settlement facilities Jacob Mulder AsgardianJacob at Asgardia.Space, Resident ID 612-0001173841-458 units also are needed, MADmelange.space sizes with no or limited artificial gravity building blocks (module definition) Registered under number ATCM000018 in the BDAR of Asgardia for temporary work like construction and repair connections but also as emergency escape space for evacuation Details documentation ’t Pad 13, 9365 TA Niebert, The Netherlands quality assurance Usage and construction Tel. +31 594 518 647, mobile +31 622 404 830, [email protected] is modular, flexible and expandable.
