More Moon mission ideas

Exploration
  • Exploration of the moon. Test rock samples brought back from EVA’s.

Operations and Maintenance

  • Re-supply missions to moon.
  • Remotely drive a rover to collect supplies from landing site
  • Set up power unit – deploy solar panels
  • Respond to anomalies:
  1. Return to Moon Base due to radiation from solar activity
  2. Power loss – repair power station
  3. Medical issues – rescue injured astronaut
  4. Pressure leaks (micrometeorites) – repair facility
  5. Broken filtration units – build new water filtration unit
  6. Reports of different problems from earth

Other possibilities for the video game. This can include a host of anomalies from things blowing up to falling off a cliff. I think the more danger, the better.

  • Building the base – inflating structures or using the Moon buggy to move structures into place.
  • Mining operation – Astronaut services a robotic mining operation. Perhaps transporting oxygen to the home base or Helium 3 to a rocket for launch
  • Servicing failed equipment – autonomous telescopes that break down
  • Cleaning off large solar cells when covered by regolith (If he kicks up too much dust, the solar cells get covered and power in the station goes down)
  • Food production – hydroponics facility
  • Collecting supplies that came from earth
