    Nuclear power is the way to go. The heat can be radiated away if anyone is thinking an earth type nuclear reactor on the dark side of the generator, reactor or craft. But small plutonium decay reactors as used on current probes is doable, they just need more of them or scale them up. Then utilized rockets to launch and spent radioactive material into the sun to get rid of the problem. Clear forward thinking on removable plutonium pellets built into serviceable fuel modules, that can be replaced (as needed) and then placed into a transport vehicle that can be launched from the moons surface to the sun. Depending on which plutonium isotope used, the half life of the plutonium 238 used in the Perseverance Rover for example is 87.7 years… so these power systems are both practical and reliable. Assuming the launch vehicle from earth does not experience a RUD on takeoff or landing.

      Sending material to burn up in the sun is quite difficult. You have to slow it down, ie overcome the speed the earth is orbiting at (107,000 km/h) in order to have it fall into the sun. This requires a serious rocket, even with the low gravity of the moon. It’d be much simpler to just bury it somewhere on the moon, there’s not a lot of protest groups there to harass politicians and change their minds 😉

      It's honestly the Russian or Chinese construction that concerns me.
      Russia has an abysmal record with space and safety (in general) and China.. their engineering ideas and construction realities.. might as well be on two different planets. You can literally break apart Chinese concrete they make buildings out of.. with your fingers.
      With the CCP in control and with Russia.. in any version of itself we've ever seen.
      Competence has never been their strong suit
      And I haven't even got to the horrifying reality of their reactors. Obviously a reactor in space is different somewhat.. but they can't build, operate, service, or sustain these things safely or environmentally.
      Good news is.
      Russian has dozens of irresponsibly abandoned RTGs just laying around Siberia waiting to become toxic ecological catastrophes. So they could probably save a couple bucks and just throw one into space and hope it gets lucky and sits within the Russian Federation/USSR Safety record of successful launches and missions.. of under 37% of all launches.
      So.. you know.
      No worries there I guess.

It is connected to the Russian service module this whole time and has been as reliable as it gets throughout this whole time.
      Also the Chinese is the only nation in the world that has a space station. There's only 2, the Chinese one and the Russian one - the ISS ( which was joined by USA in the 90s), there's nothing more reliable and advanced in Space than Russia and China at this point.

    14 days of night indeed is a problem for a photovoltaic power station. But if the solar panels are placed on mountain peaks or crater rims near the lunar poles, they almost permanently receive sunlight. My tram already has evaluated the data. at least for 300 days per year we receive sunlight.
    And under these conditions, photovoltaic power plants are more efficient, safer, simpler, and require much less payload than a nuclear reactor.

    it may be true, may be a strategical lie. It should strike a nerve depending what "side" your on. "Settlement" is a interesting term, what it truly mean? probably not a research base but militarily and mining base. The only things worth mining is materials for nuclear fusion. Does that mean Russia and China have the technology to build a workable fusion energy plant? Bear my words, US may crack the code for nuclear fusion but they will never build the plant as long as they process the top fissile fuel storage.

    Nah its not a huge battery problem. You use Hydrogen generators. During the Lunar day you use Solar to separate water/hydrogen which you then store ti burn later.
    Your water is the battery uncharged and your separated hydrogen and o2 is your battery in the charged state.
    During the 14 day lunar night you have all the power you need.

      ❔A cooling cycle is 14 days on the moon. 14 x 24 hours of permanent exposure to sun light without the help of water or even an atmosphere. The 14 day long night should be straight forward, though it first also needs evaluation.

    • @VicariousAdventurer
      @VicariousAdventurer 2 місяці тому

      At e South Pole, there are some areas in permanent shadow (in dips) - and even the lighted areas are very strongly slanted light, think of the warming difference in Summer on Earth at the North Pole versus Equator. Extensive pipes can carry heat through regolith. For small reactors, high levels of heat can be radiated away. Like in a reactor for space (someone once pointed out that radiative cooling goes as T^4, which was a little embarrassing since I should have thought of that)

    • @VicariousAdventurer
      @VicariousAdventurer 2 місяці тому

      Also, you usually do not have to dig so far (beyond a skin depth) as to get a temp that is an average of the surface temperatures. 14-day days and nights aren't even the yearly variation that heat pumps on Earth deal with. Exponential decay of temperature oscillation with depth does the job. Unfortunately, the same factor involving distance from the pipe means an extensive field is needed, so I only see this for a large installation.

In terms of rockets it had managed to copy old Soviet Design rockets, which is again great, but Russia is one step ahead with it's Soyuz 5 rocket and Angara rockets, which is a new gen of space rockets, etc. More so Russia has the experience of space exploration and relations.
