1 Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems (PISCES): Vision and Goals Frank Schowengerdt, Director of PISCES Presented at JUSTSAP/PISCES Symposium November 10, 2008

2 VISION An International Research and An International Research and Education Center Dedicated to Sustaining Life on the Moon and Beyond

3 GOALS To Become an Intellectual Leader of Thought to Enable Human Settlement of Space: –Create a New Science: Lunar Human Ecology –Focus on ISRU, Robotics, Agriculture, Energy, Materials, Engineering and Pertinent Areas of the Biological and Social Sciences –Establish a Degree Program in Space Studies at UHH –Reach Out to the Local Community and the International Space Community

4 CONSUMABLESENERGYMATERIALS Lunar Human Ecology Pillars of Sustainability For Humans at a Lunar Settlement

5 Consumables Food Production in Lunar (Hawaiian) Regolith  Genetics  Hydroponics  Environmental Effects Air Production from Lunar (Hawaiian) Regolith  Oxygen  Nitrogen  Water (Hydrogen) Environmental Control and Life Support Systems (ECLSS)  Computer Modeling  Monitoring

6 Energy Collection of Solar Energy on Lunar (Hawaiian) Surface  Thermal  Photovoltaic  Power Beaming Chemical Fuel and Propellant Production from Lunar (Hawaiian) Regolith Bio-Fuel Production from the Lunar (Hawaiian) Regolith

7 Materials Production of Construction Materials from the Lunar (Hawaiian) Regolith  Hardened Surfaces  Bricks  Concrete Production of Manufacturing Materials from the Lunar (Hawaiian) Regolith  Metals  Glasses  Ceramics  Composites

8 Education New Courses at UHH (First One Taught Spring 08) New Statewide Degree Program in Space Studies, Based at UHH Potential Undergraduate Engineering at UHH New Professorships at UHH Informal Education Programs, K-12
