Structural Design
1.1 Main Body
Structural Design
AKA : "Root".
Main cylinder around which the Tori rotate.
The Power Core consists of Fuel Cells for power.
1.2: Storage Wings
1.2:
Storage Wings
- Extensions 100 metres below the Dock.
- 2 Wings extending in opposite directions from opposite ends.

- Shape: Rectangular, with the farther side curved.
- Zero Gravity.
1.3: Tori
- Doughnut shaped discs rotating around the Root.

- 1/10th of the Primary Torus.
Management
- Market :-
- 1/5th of Torus.

- Filter :-
- 1/5th of Torus.
- Cleaning system to reuse Icarus's water supply.
- Disposal system and recycling system for Icarus's waste.
Connectors
- Connect each of the Divisions to the two next to it as passageways.
- Individual Fraction of Torus: 1/40.
- Total Fraction of Torus: 1/10.
Connectors
1.32: Agro-Torus

1.32:
Agro-Torus
Divisions
- Acid Division :-
- The quarter of the Torus reserved for crops suitable to acidic soil.
- Normal Division :-
- The quarter of the Torus reserved for crops suited to neutral soils and for providing extra production grounds.
- O2 Division :-
- The quarter of the Torus reserved for plants with higher photosynthesizing rates per unit area.
- Basic Division :-
- The quarter of the Torus reserved for crops suitable to alkaline soil.
1.33: Spokes
- Cylindrical passageways connecting the Tori to the Root.
- Also responsible for making the Tori rotate.
1.33: Spokes
Once compressed using the HCCS, the collected materials will be shipped back to Earth in a fully automated reusable rocket:
For cost efficiency we will be taking maximum resources in a single flight.

Icarus: Location
2.1: Location
fig: Location in the Solar System
2.21: Amount of Water Required
Water Management
- Hence, the total requirement per day of water is 1700 Kilo Liters.
2.22: Supply and Storage:
Supply of water will be done through a system of toroid pipes which will be connected with every sector.
Details are given under 2.4 Mining.
Solar Panels
Power Generation
The y-axis represents kW produced per month, according to the graph we will be able to produce nearly 35000 kW per month.
2.41: Locating:
- Two small Rovers TARS and CASE, both :
7 inches wide and 2.8 inches tall
will be deployed on the surface with minimal equipment and cost.
- Due to the low gravity the two probes will potentially “bounce” around the surface of Eros in search of deposits.
- Mainly be targeting the large depression for increased likelihood.
- Fully automated.
2.4: Mining:
2.42: Processing Raw Material: A 4 step process
Toroid
- Torus will be spread throughout all four major sectors
- Use a magnetic field to transport
- Quick and long term
- Automatic, minimal human supervision
- A much more efficient system rather than having multiple tubes for all things that need transporting
2.52: Shipment of Raw Material:
Human needs and considerations:
4.1 Food and Agriculture
4.2 Health and Atmosphere
4.3 Waste Management
4.4 Residency
Human Factors
Food and agriculture
- The agro torus will be divided into seperate divisions to maximise crop growth efficiency.
- Water will be given precisely at the roots as it cant flow on its own by automated machines.
- Food produced from agriculture will undergo the same procedure and stocked every month.
Health and atmosphere:
- Biophosphate consumption and a low sodium diet will combat bone weakness.
- Info regarding illnesses and solutions given to personnel.
- Health specialists will be included but actual work will be carried out by an AmbuBot.
- Air composition maintained by sealing Icarus after launch.
- Most of the hydrogen will be used in hydrogen fuel cells to make water for electrolysis.
Health and atmosphere
Waste management
- Zero gravity toilets with a fan driven suction system that collects solid waste in bags
- Waste used as manure/fertilizer
- Urine, sweat and moisture also collected. Filtration, chlorination and cleaning done to get pure water
- Water containers also kept for emergencies
Waste management
Housing Services
- 4445 dormitories in the for occupation of one individual
- Consists of a small bedroom and a washroom. Only 75 meter square in total
- Located in the primary torus
- Basic furniture is included and a pipe for food hydration will be available in each room
- The plan for each room to look like:

Business Potential and Profits
the blue line represents platinum
the orange line represents gold
- Eros is an S type asteroid.
- Composition same as meteorites on earth.
- Contains approximately 20 billion tonnes of metals ex. aluminium, gold and platinum.
- Also has volatile elements e.g. ammonia and methane.

Business Restrictions
Business restrictions
- Analysis of samples required to determine most beneficial location
- Costs certain to be huge
- UN oversees space treaty that does not allow ownership in space and hinders activities
- Lack of laws may lead to disputes

Rover details
Rover
Design
The rover is covered with Tantalum Hafnium Carbide to protect the rover from high temperatures
Wheels covered with Kevlar for thermal stability.
Rover details
Chem Scanner to detect mineral presence.
Drill covered with diamond dust; dual functioning laser cutter and hyper saw cut the rock into smaller parts
In-built Astro-Geopositioning system along with an atmospheric gas detection system.
a sun/thermal sensor to measure the incident angle of the sun to great accuracy.
Material Extraction
smart detection of quantity of material mined depending on drilling depth.
The tail, scoops up the minerals and fits them into the storage rover.
Storage Rover has weighing and scanning capability that is communicated to the AI which in-turn determines the projected HHSC unit. It also follows the Mining Rover through its antenna.

SETTLEMENT ROBOTS
1. Ambubot: this Robot takes care of the human's medical needs and can operate on the patient without the help of the doctors.
2. Helpbot:Taking care of human needs and cleaning of Icarus.
3. Securelt: This robot helps maintain security in Icarus. It is equipped with a taser, and is loaded with rubber bullets.
Emergency Measures
Emergency Measures
People will be evacuated from that area and it will be sealed tightly. Then the oxygen of that area will be depleted causing the fire to cease to exist.
If a DISEASE breaks out, the patients move to isolation pods for treatment.
IN CASE OF

Asteroid
Virus
Dust
If there is an incoming ASTERIOD, Icarus will move away and come back after it has passed.
in case of a VIRUS on the server, the anti-virus will have it removed in a minute.
Aero-Gel - collects dust is 99.8% Air.
Provides 39 times more insulation than the best fiberglass insulation, is 1,000 times less dense than glass.
Ideal for preventing dust to enter through inlets.
Used in multiple spacecrafts already and soon to be available for commercial use.
