[There is a new, vastly more elegant design not
presented at this time] Space Habitats and
Hazardous Environments Design and Development
Mission Structure:
Earth to orbit system of aircraft-towed orbiter-vehicles, transverse
shipping, stationary satellites and lander vehicles. These will
include a schematic of public and private companies and endeavors.
Life support system includes septic, water and air to accommodate
space vehicles and planetary installations. These will be designed
to accommodate and integrate with both space vehicles, asteroid
mining environments and planetary installations. Security and
Biological hazards security and isolation protocols must be
carefully accounted.
Mining
It must be remembered, mining will involve Asteroids, the
composition of which may be heavy metals and radioactive materials.
Therefore mining vehicles will need radiation and isolated
materials-handling structures. Contaminated materials handling
protocols apply. These need to be designed for a full range of
expected materials with modular design set-ups for unexpected and
creative uses.
Orbital Protocols
Design orbital regimes and create orbital protocols and integrate
with Over-all Operations Protocol ( O-Op )
All work stations can become future science
laboratories.
Plans will be constructed for science labs and multi-array
observatories on Mars, or around the Mars orbiting descent and
launch station, or around the mid-point fuels-dump space station.
Constant Operations Parameters
Requisites for susceptibility and sustained operations to be
integrated with Over-all Operations Protocol
Initial systems, Building and Growth
Operations integrating initial phase
installations
Landing
Establish Structures
domiciles, gardens and workstations
fuels Power and Utilities
Design initial power station
and utilities to integrate with Over-all Operations Protocol Water Supply
Water treatment units that
accompany spacecraft will be designed for use on the planet to
integrate into a larger water-systems scheme to feed the various
“life-domes,” structures and work-stations.
There should be careful
management of water colors, white, gray,
black, etc. These would be treated in the garden
corridors. [Check plant pistil/pollen reproductive systems and
growth rate on low gravity.] There may need to be Gravity Rings for
certain garden requirements. This system needs to be dynamically
integrated into the overall recycling regime and with the energy
& power systems. Solar to Hydrogen and Oxygen production are
initial goals.

Over-all Operations Protocol
