摘要: 系统性调研了国内外洞穴月球基地相关政策、计划及具体项目,重点对比分析了国内外研究成果的现有差距。基于国内外月球探测的影像信息及洞穴月球基地概念研究成果,梳理了洞穴月球基地建设的可行性构想。基于洞穴的独特优势(如温度适宜、辐射低、月尘少等)以及月球基地建设的难易程度等客观条件,对多种洞穴月球基地构想进行了定性分析。各类月球基地构型均展现出独特优势:以陨石坑改造为基础的洞穴月球基地,充分利用了月球表面的天然地形,结合了自然结构特点和人工改造需求,具有显著的原位资源利用优势。无论是无人还是载人洞穴月球基地,都将经历月球探测、月面选址、基地建设和基地应用四个关键战略阶段。尽管通过已发射的月球轨道探测器和月面探测器等手段获取了大量月球影像,但当前对月球表面的探测能力仍需进一步提升,为洞穴月球基地建设的“选址”工作提供更有力支撑;同时,亟需加快研制月球基地建设关键设备,为无人月球基地建设提供必要的实施工具,确保“建基”任务的顺利推进,尽早实现洞穴月球基地的“用洞”战略目标。

Abstract: The relevant policies, plans and specific projects of cave lunar bases at home and abroad were investigated systematically, with a focus on the comparative analysis of the existing gaps in research achievements. Based on the image information of lunar exploration at home and abroad and the research results of cave lunar base concept, the feasibility concept of cave lunar construction has been sorted out. Based on the unique advantages of the cave (such as suitable temperature, low radiation, less lunar dust, etc.) and the objective conditions of the difficulty of building a lunar base, a qualitative analysis was conducted on various concepts of cavebased lunar bases. Each type of lunar base configuration shows unique advantages: the cavebased lunar base based on the transformation of craters makes full use of the natural terrain on the lunar surface, combines the natural structural characteristics and artificial transformation requirements, and has significant advantages insitu resource utilization. Whether it is an unmanned or manned cave lunar base, it will go through four key strategic stages: lunar exploration, lunar address selection, lunar base construction and lunar base application. Although a large number of lunar images have been obtained through the launched lunar orbit probe, lunar surface probe and other exploration means, the current lunar surface exploration capabilities still need to be further improved to provide stronger support for the "site selection" work of the construction of the cave lunar base. At the same time, it is urgent to accelerate the development of key equipment for the construction of lunar bases as soon as possible, provide implementation tools for the construction of unmanned lunar bases, implement the "foundation" task of the cave lunar base, and realize the strategic goal of "cave utilization" of the cave lunar base as soon as possible.
