Scientific paper
Study on lunar bases and lunar resource development is conducted by a committee which consists of more than 200 researchers. Results of the study are outlined on the following subjects: (1) fundamental reviews of the study; (2) establishment of research concepts; (3) fundamental reviews of space resource utilization; (4) reviews of lunar surface development and space theory; (5) phased development of lunar bases; (6) phased development of lunar activities and detail of activities in each phase; (7) major technologies required for lunar base construction; (8) conceptual design of D-He-3 nuclear reactors; (9) roles played by lunar bases in Mars exploration; and (10) ground test equipment. The results are summarized as follows: (1) practical scenarios of lunar base realization are shown and the feasibility of initial-stage manned lunar base with Japanese technology is made clear; (2) feasibility of visible radiation interferometer (lunar astronomical observatory) with a resolution of 1/100,000 second can be made clear; (3) major research and development problems on core technologies indispensable to construct lunar bases such as closed ecological life support system, robot, space transportation, and energy supply technologies; (4) existance of lunar resources such as D-He-3, solar wind gas, and metals and problems required for utilizing those resources are made clear; (5) it is shown that D-He-3 nuclear fusion has higher economy, safety, and environment maintainability than D-He-3 laser nuclear fusion; and (6) test equipment which should be subjected to rapid start for constructing lunar bases is identified.
