Regolith Covering Method for Habitation Module in an Early Phase of Lunar Base Construction
It is effective to cover a lunar base module with 2 to 3 meters thickness of regolith for shielding from hazards. In this paper, a simple means of providing a shield wall in an early phase of lunar base construction is proposed. A deployable folding jacket, consisting of metal or fiber reinforced sheet, is to be pre-installed on the habitation module. The jacket is to be developed after positioning the module on Moon from Earth. After the module is delivered to the lunar surface, the jacket is deployed. The deployed jacket is larger than the module by 2 to 3 meters. After the jacket is deployed, the space between the module and the jacket is filled with regolith by dozer and conveyor to provide required shielding.
