摘要

Over 50 years have passed since 2001: A Space Odyssey debuted in April 1968. In the film, Dr. Heywood Floyd flies to a large artificial gravity space station orbiting Earth aboard a commercial space plane. He then embarks on a commuter flight to the Moon arriving there 25 hours later. Today, in this the 50th anniversary year of the Apollo 11 lunar landing, the images portrayed in 2001 still remain well beyond our capabilities. This paper examines key technologies and systems (e.g., in-situ resource utilization, fission power, advanced chemical and nuclear propulsion), and supporting orbital infrastructure (providing a propellant and cargo transfer function), that could be developed by NASA and industry over the next 30 years allowing the operational capabilities presented in 2001 to be achieved, albeit on a more spartan scale. Lunar-derived propellants (LDPs) will be essential to developing a reusable lunar transportation system that can allow initial outposts to evolve into settlements supporting a variety of commercial activities. Deposits of icy regolith discovered at the lunar poles can supply the feedstock material needed to produce liquid oxygen (LO_2) and hydrogen (LH_2) propellants. On the lunar nearside, near the equator, iron oxide-rich volcanic glass beads from vast pyroclastic deposits, together with mare regolith, can provide the feedstock materials to produce lunar-derived LO_2 plus other important solar wind implanted (SWI) volatiles, including H2 and helium-3. Megawatt-class fission power systems will be essential for providing continuous "24/7" power to processing plants, human settlements and commercial enterprises that develop on the Moon and in orbit. Reusable lunar landing vehicles will provide cargo and passenger "orbit-to-surface" access and will also transport LDP to Space Transportation Nodes (STNs) located in lunar polar (LPO) and equatorial orbits (LLO). Reusable space-based, lunar transfer vehicles (LTVs), operating between STNs in low Ea
