Abstract:
3D modelling is used in physics for observing different phenomena and visualizing the applicability of parameters in a virtual environment. This paper presents two types of extra-terrestrial human habitats developed by software modelling using Rhinoceros 3D. In order to select a location for virtually implementing the habitat, the most suitable environments for supplying the Life Supporting Systems must be detected. We propose to perform an accurate analysis of different parameters including sidereal rotation period, surface gravity, radiation (Solar Energetic Particles and Galactic Cosmic Rays), atmospheric composition, pressure, space debris, local resources, and magnetosphere. These parameters will be presented in form of a Microsoft Excel chart and the result is a selection of celestial bodies defined as suitable for supplying a closed biosphere. Based on the environmental properties, two different types of habitats were created: one to be located on the surface of a celestial body and a different one orbiting, using artificial gravity. To ensure the logistics and determine the maximum amount of cargo, the spacecraft with the biggest payload volume was taken into consideration. The reusable Starship system by SpaceX, including Super Heavy booster, can transport one habitat to another planet by one single launch. The 3D Model has its applicability in creating an interface for manually configuration of a human habitat, for educational purpose. The habitat can contribute to the development of extra-terrestrial constructions, resource mining for Life Supporting Systems supply, or to human space exploration.
