Modeling of Multifunctional Mobile Extracting-Processing Complex

The article describes the development of a model of a Multifunctional Mobile Complex designed for extracting various types of an ore from the lunar soil and processing them into a fuel for space ships. In addition, modern technologies allow the processing of lunar soil into refined materials that can be used for 3D printing of modules for space bases or ships. The basis for modeling of the mobile Complex is the Kerbal Space Program – an engineering game aimed at familiarizing with the complexities of space exploration. The first version of the program was developed in 2010 by the Mexican company "Squad", the lead developer – Felipe Falanghe. In 2019, the project has been supported by the American developer of the GTA series of games. Now the program goes beyond using only by interested users. In the new version of the educational paradigm, it is proposed to include elements of computer games and simulations in the content of training courses. The application of the Kerbal Space Program in the educational process in technical disciplines solves the problems of attracting potential specialists to the space industry, as well as the development of "space" literacy, especially for young students. The development described in the article is brought to detailing at the level of individual modules and their components, a program for deploying of the Complex on the surface of the Moon is proposed, and calculations are performed that demonstrate the realism of the proposed idea.
