Annotation: The 21st century started with changes in hopes and expectations for space exploration. Plans are being announced to move from researching and studying the solar system to colonizing it. The primary object of attention is the Earth’s natural satellite. A return to the Moon is expected in the near future, and various countries are already planning short-term crewed expeditions to the Moon. A gradual establishment of permanent human presence on the Moon is supposed, for which lunar bases will be created. One of the most essential tasks in exploring the Moon will be to ensure the reliable transportation of people and cargo between Earth and the Moon. The intensity of spacecraft fl ights will increase signifi cantly after the start of lunar base construction, remaining high in subsequent stages. Therefore, it can be expected that spaceports will become essential components of lunar bases. In addition to prepared sites, spaceports must have the necessary equipment and resources. The creation of a spaceport on the Moon has its own peculiarities, which are discussed in this article. The article examines the specifi city of spaceport construction on the Moon, considering the unusual nature of this task, and makes a brief analysis of modern approaches to accomplishing it. The article supposes the potential location of the spaceport, outlines the possible impact of lunar surface relief on spaceport construction, and identifi es factors of priority concern. The fi rst approximation provides the principal quantitative and qualitative indicators characterizing the spacecraft landing process. Recommendations are given regarding selecting the shape and size of landing pads for spacecraft. A possible structural diagram of a lunar spaceport has been developed, with a list of the primary components and equipment. The article also identifi es limitations that need to be taken into account and indicates various factors that will infl uence the design of the spaceport and, therefore, need to be considered. The work carried out may serve as a theoretical basis for the further development of the lunar base concept.

Key words: colonization of the Moon, lunar base, lunar spaceport, landing pad

Annotation: The terminal descent phase of landing is a mission-critical failure point for all planetary surface exploration. This paper presents a detailed technical framework for the Lunar Landing Interface (LLI), a deployable, autonomous ground structure designed to create a controlled environment that mitigates these universal risks. We provide an in-depth analysis of the material science, component design, and operational principles of the LLI. Specifi c focus is given to the proposed solutions for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC); the power nfrastructure required for high-voltage electrostatic systems; the system’s structural and mechanical reliability through the use of solid-state actuators and robust materials; and the strategic costbenefi t of lander mass reduction enabled by this infrastructure. The scientifi c novelty of this work lies in the integrated systems approach, combining origami-inspired deployment with active dust mitigation and ground-based autonomous guidance to solve the terminal descent problem holistically. The practical signifi cance is a clear path toward reducing the cost and increasing the safety of lunar access, thereby enabling a sustainable lunar economy. This work expands upon a preliminary concept to provide the detailed theoretical and engineering rationale necessary to prove the LLI’s feasibility and justify further investment in its development, directly addressing reviewer feedback

Annotation: Moon Village Association, together with Yuzhnoye State Design Offi ce, created and implemented the Mentorship Program “PromoMoon Initiative for Moon Village Generation in honor of Dr. Alexander Degtyarev ˮ. The main goal of the Program is to build the capacity of new participants in the space market. The Mentorship Program allows the winners of the competition to receive expert assessment through online B2B mentorship sessions provided by MVA members and specialists from Yuzhnoye State Design Offi ce. This year marks the 4th PromoMoon Initiative. 19 projects are presented by participants from 16 countries. Most of the projects are dedicated to the creation of lunar base infrastructure and technologies for extracting useful resources on the Moon. The main focus of the proposed projects is on the use of local resources, cost-eff ectiveness and reliability. Seven projects are dedicated to various residential module designs: with an infl atable chamber and high-strength shells; with small 3D-printed panels and their assembly in a module; modular habitats created and serviced by autonomous microrobots; modules using biomimetic principles of adaptation found in Earth’s natural systems. The modules are made of terrestrial materials, lunar regolith, and a building material based on radiation-absorbing fungi, as well as “PotatoCreteˮ material derived from potato raw materials. The Lunar-Based Solar Power Station with Microwave Power Transmission from a Satellite Orbiter was developed by the Lunar Energizers team, and the Lunar Regolith-Based ThermalEnergy Storage for Moon Village Generation, in the project of the same name. The Tochtli system for regolith extraction and processing was proposed by the Torres Orbital Mining team, the RegOne system for regolith extraction and transportation was proposed by the MoonAixperts e.V. team. Anodes for direct molten regolith electrolysis were developed by a team of Ukrainian scientists. The Sand to Green team developed a lunar agroforestry system. Two launch complexes, the Lunar Electrostatic Dust Removal Station, a lunar rescue sled and a centralized cloud platform with open access for storing, analyzing and exchanging lunar mission data were proposed.

Annotation: Modern research into technologies for extracting mineral resources on the Moon has revealed some harsh limitations related to dependence on Earth’s resources and high technological requirements. While the chemical and carbothermal reduction of lunar regolith is theoretically possible, it requires a constant supply of reducing agents such as hydrogen or carbon from Earth. This signifi cantly increases mission costs and complicates logistics, making such methods unsuitable for large-scale applications. Pyrolysis, which involves heating regolith to extremely high temperatures, is also not an optimal solution due to the need for complex and energy-intensive equipment that exceeds the capabilities of current space technologies. Electrolysis using molten fl uoride salts or calcium chloride (CaCl2 ) has been proposed as an alternative, but its effi ciency is limited by the need to deliver fl uxes from Earth. This reduces the autonomy of the process and makes it less economically viable in the long term. In light of these limitations, the most promising technology appears to be the direct electrolysis of molten regolith, which stands out for its simplicity and independence from terrestrial materials. This method involves melting local raw materials, followed by electrolytic separation into useable components such as oxygen, metal alloys, and other materials. However, the key challenge to implementing this technology is the development of refractory conductive materials for anodes that can withstand the extreme conditions of high temperatures and aggressive oxygen environments. Existing materials degrade rapidly under these factors, leading to reduced effi ciency and increased maintenance costs. Additionally, reliable protective coatings for equipment must be developed to prevent corrosion and mechanical wear. Overcoming these technical challenges would enable the creation of an autonomous lunar resource extraction system, which is critical for future lunar bases and further space exploration. Such a system could provide astronauts with oxygen, water, and construction materials without constant supplies from Earth, signifi cantly reducing the cost of space missions. Thus, despite existing technological challenges, direct electrolysis remains the most viable option for the industrial use of local lunar resources. Further research should focus on optimizing materials and application methods, as well as on developing energy-effi cient solutions to ensure the stability and economic feasibility of lunar mining. This will open new possibilities for a sustained human presence on the Moon and will be a signifi cant step in deep space exploration.

Annotation: This paper aims to develop a scientifi cally grounded method for determining the key technical parameters of a vertical screw conveyor–specifi cally, throughput and the power requirement of the driving electric motor. These parameters depend on the density and porosity of the transported material, the screw’s geometric characteristics, and the gravitational fi eld at the transportation site. The study also explores potential design constraints when handling lunar regolith. To achieve this objective, the authors applied established equations for screw conveyor parameter calculations, fundamental principles of bulk material mechanics, key electrodynamic equations for asynchronous motors, and specifi c behavioral characteristics of bulk materials during vertical screw transport, which were also investigated experimentally. As a result, a novel method is proposed for calculating the technical specifi cations of a screw conveyor under lunar conditions, based on known geometric parameters, fi lling ratio, and electric motor characteristics. The study further examines the infl uence of the conveyor’s fi lling ratio on performance and identifi es geometric limitations imposed by the operational boundaries of the selected motor. Acceptable values for transport height, screw diameter, other geometric parameters, and achievable fi lling ratios for a given motor are determined. The study substantiates that vertical screw conveyors are the most promising solution for lunar regolith transport. These systems are compact, adaptable, capable of integration within tubes or underground installations, operate continuously, function autonomously, and can be powered by solar energy.

Key words: Moon, regolith, screw conveyor, electric motor, throughput, power

Annotation: The objective of this article is to develop a scientifically proven method of calculation of the auger conveyor parameters, such as the conveyor capacity and the corresponding power of the electrical motor, for different densities and porosities of conveyed materials, the geometrical parameters of the auger, and the specificity of the gravitational fields at the place of transportation. Another objective is to investigate potential limitations of the auger parameters when transporting lunar regolith. To reach these objectives, the known relations for calculating the auger conveyor parameters were applied, as well as the fundamental laws of the granular media mechanics, the principal equations of asynchronous motor electrodynamics, and the behavior of granular media when moving it with the auger conveyor, experimentally studied by the domestic authors. It gave the possibility, for the first time for the lunar environment, to suggest a procedure to calculate the auger conveyor parameters, such as the conveyor capacity and the corresponding power of the electric motor, using known geometrical parameters of the mainline and pipeline, the auger conveyor filling ratio and the parameters of the selected electrical motor. It gave the possibilities to study how the filling ratio of the auger conveyor influences its principal performance parameters and determine potential limitations of the geometrical parameters and the filling ratios of auger conveyors according to the parameters and features of the selected electrical motor. The allowable transportation distances, diameters, other geometrical parameters of auger conveyors, and conveyor filling ratios with the selected electrical motor have been determined. It has been proven that the solutions based on using auger conveyors would be most rational for transporting loose lunar regolith over the Moon’s surface because the auger conveyors are compact and adaptable, and they can be placed inside tubes and laid under the day surface, thereby ensuring the continuous transportation process. Furthermore, they are capable of autonomous operation and can use the electricity produced by solar arrays.

Annotation: Over the past years, the leading space powers have been returning to the idea of expeditions to the Moon and actively designing and manufacturing components for inhabited lunar bases. Yuzhnoye State Design Office has its own concept of a lunar base and, of course, cannot stand aside from the solution of scientific and technical problems related to the Moon exploration. Specialists of Yuzhnoye SDO completed conceptual development of a significant range of technologies required for the Moon exploration: a space transportation system for lunar expeditions; landers to deliver payloads to the surface of the Moon and transport experimental equipment; mobile laboratories; a reconnaissance rover to provide reconnaissance missions on the surface of the Moon; vehicles to provide lifting and transport, assembly and construction, production and technological and soil extraction work on the surface of the Moon; habitat units and other elements of the lunar infrastructure. Taking into account the high costs of lunar exploration, it is clear that international cooperation is the most realistic scenario for Yuzhnoye SDO to participate in the exploration. The U.S. lunar program is the most attractive. Private companies that NASA selects for the lunar programs can become partners of Yuzhnoye. With a view to ensuring the participation of Yuzhnoye SDO in international programs, the current state of global technologies for the Moon exploration was analyzed and opportunities to promote technologies developed by Ukrainian specialists on the international market of space technologies were identified based on the analysis. Taking into account the high level of technologies developed by the potential partners, it is proposed for the first time to consider it advisable to promote Yuzhnoye’s technologies with TRL 6–9 which have already been successfully tested and the innovative technologies developed by the company which have no analogues in the world or surpass the world level in terms of their technological and economic performance. Based on the analysis of the Lunar Industrial & Research Base conceptual design, such technologies may include rocket propulsion, units and assemblies of liquid-propellant propulsion (TRL 6–9), as well as future designs such as a hydrogen energy accumulator and inert anodes made of ultra-high-temperature ceramics for electrolysis of regolith melts.

Key words: rocket propulsion, hydrogen energy accumulator, inert anodes.
