Title: Foundation Slab for Lunar Base Construction
Summary / Review : From the author's abstract: "This paper represents a proposal for an underground lunar base construction method which is relatively safe for crews and uses simple operations. The slab on the ground level is installed first. An air (or gas) jet and a vacuum structure for habitation is constructed in this cave with radiation protection and airtight provided by the slab. [sic] With this technology, the amounts of working time with exposure to the hazardous lunar environment can be reduced because major facilities such as the habitat can be set up in the underground space with the radiation protection constructed beforehand." - MP
