A Generic Inflatable Structure for a Lunar/Martian Base

摘要: The first steps in the human expansion into space, which inevitably will occur during next century, consist of establishment a human-tended base on Moon followed by missions and Mars. Structures for both lunar Martian bases face similar requirements design criteria despite differences environmental conditions at these two sites. Consequently, is natural testbed structures. In cases, internal pressure major applied load, as external sites structurally negligible. An inflatable structure made thin membrane highly efficient resisting dominant load. A generic modular that can be used Mars proposed described.
