FuelingBy extracting the newly found ice on the moon. It is estimated that a total of 6.6 billion tons of ice is on the moon. The discovery of new ice deposits in the moons craters increases that number today.
Through the use of electrolysis we are able to separate the hydrogen and oxygen from the water and harvest them for use on the space station.
FarmingAs long term space travel begins to advance the need for growing food during the fl ight becomes a necessary means of survival. The techniques of aeroponic farming has been tested aboard the Mir Space Station.
Aeroponic systems can reduce water usage by 98% and fertilizer use by 60%. The crops grown are also a potential source of fresh oxygen and clean drinking water.

Program LoopLaboratory Investigates the advancements in food growth technology and fuel extracting processes. Also has a private farming area specifi c to the lab to investigate new growth techniques.
Housing
Temporary housing for the visitors of the space station if a prolonged stay is necessary.
Farming
Growing chambers where produced will be produced for sale as well as for the inhabitants of the space station
Market Space
Area for commerce within the space station from visiting ships to refresh their supplies while in outer space
Fueling
Restock fueling for the outerspace transit systems.

Exponential Growth
To apply the idea of exponential growth to this looped system I started to investigate the ideas of a mobius strip as well as a torus. These sys-tems apply a number of twists and loops to a standard loop with out
increasing the size of the original diameter.

Cluster System
Using a rule set based on proximity, duration, & action the fi eld is or-ginized according to programatic requirements. The program controls
this system. For example the labratory needs moderate isolation due to experiments while the fueling station needs complete isolation due
to its volatile capabilities.
