Lunar Power & Logistics FAQs
How do you calculate 360-hour lunar night battery reserves? +
Multiply total continuous megawatt consumption by 360 hours. For a baseline 120 t/h regolith refinery drawing 144 MW, you must pre-charge 51,840 MWh of battery storage before sunset.
What conveyor belt tier is needed for subterranean trunk lines? +
Tier 1 conveyors transport 120 items per minute for initial veins. Tier 2 handles 240 items per minute for multi-stage pressing, and Tier 3 handles 480 items per minute for spaceport elevator trunks.
How do fuel generators mitigate night battery storage requirements? +
Fuel generators consume stored hydrogen and oxygen to provide baseload power during the lunar night, reducing battery bank capital expenditure by up to 60%.
