Analytical Studies and Prospects of Micrometeoroid Impact Protection for Lunar Construction Structures
In light of the significant challenges and threats posed by the hypervelocity impact of micrometeoroids on the future lunar base,the potential hazards of the micrometeoroid environment to lunar surface structures are delineated.Different lunar surface protection structures,their composition,construction methods,and characteristics are collated and summarized.Three analysis approaches for the impact effect of micrometeoroids on lunar surface protection structures are emphasized,and the protective efficacy of different lunar surface protection structures against the hypervelocity impact of micrometeoroids is analyzed.Additionally,the protection effect of different lunar surface protection structures against micrometeoroid impacts is examined,and the limitations of different lunar surface protection structures against hypervelocity impacts are summarized.Finally,the conclusions of this paper are presented,and the direction of future research is anticipated,which will provide certain references for the protection design,simulation experiments,and analytical calculations of future lunar surface construction structures.
