I am interested in knowing a little bit more on what would be the wisest way to create a lunar robot with the proper shielding for lunar conditions to do things like mining and lunar exploration. Also what kind of batteries would be best for these conditions?
Also, say that there are robots...
I would like to know what the effects of a solar flare would be on equiptment used for lunar exploration, say a robot to be specific. What kind effects would this have on the electrical system?
I also read a NASA article describing a large solar flare that created a long enduring proton...
So I am doing research for the different energy sources that might be available for a space base in about fifty years from now. Some of these energy sources would likely be solar, fusion, fission, Nuclear, and I heard of radio - nuclide as well.
What else could be used? In addition, does...
I am curious to know what would be the benefits of a Lunar Base?
I know that some benefits include the harvesting and possible use of Helium 3 for nuclear fusion energy. In addition it would help further the progress for space travel that will sometime in the future lead to traveling to other...
