As Sher sets foot outside the elevator's doors, he is embraced by a feeling of comfort, security, and belonging.

He breathes in the air, feeling as if he was in the wilds of the Amazon. He glances at the skyline laced with
skyscrapers, which seem to disappear into clouds. He walks further, dodging residents in stylish-looking
bicycles, and cars with no driver behind the wheels, as he loses track of all the interesting facilities he sees, and
holograms all around indicating to him, what is in store for him. He approaches the airlock station. Guided by
holograms, he enters the other side of the airlock, into the fabled town area beyond his expectations, filled with
lush green trees and townhouses that give a sense of déjà vu. Guided to his new home, raised on an inclined
platform, he sees a silver glimpse from the edge of the house and follows it, he travels to the edge of the surface
and from his backyard, sees out through the window, a cargo ship docking. It would unload its cargo into the
storage hub, from where it would zoom along on a set of trains, awaiting its destination, be that an industrial
complex or the agricultural sector. It would move along in zero gravity, a sensation he had yet to grasp fully.
That water was spilt yet never touched the floor. This novel feeling of tingling in his spine, redefined for him,
the idea of what was possible. Setting up a garden chair, as he awaited to greet his incoming family, into their
new home, he grasped that all his life, he wondered about his place in the dirt of the distant planet, but it truly
lay in the stars above.

Our vision of Bellevistat as you have seen above encompasses a construction process of 27 years, specially
designed to achieve IOC in 12.5 years and then FOC in a further expected 14.5 years, which is to take place
completely in space; one of the most unique points of Bellevistat. Boasting redefined categories for structural
construction, the process itself is poised to be efficient in terms of achieving IOC as fast as possible, utilizing a
bolting and riveting mechanism, which is one of the most comprehensive construction mechanics in space
settlement design history. The expansion system is purpose-built, utilizing a construction crane that is going to
be integral to expanding the community and the structure of the settlement itself. Upon the completion of the
structure, a dumbbell shaped design will be formed, with a looming radiation shield that is always pointing
towards the sun, that minimizes passive radiation, and shutters attached on the slits on the radiation shields for
solar flare emergency.
The course correction thrusters generate maximum torque, since they are maximum distance apart, to align the
settlement according to the radiation shields. Gravitational levels in both the agriculture torii and the industrial
torii are varied and set at not being lower than 0.55G and 0.2G respectively, since 0.5G is the minimum amount
of gravity level that is required for agricultural processes, and refining and weightlifting are easier on lower G
levels, since the force due to gravity is less. The Agricultural system will also make use of fogponics, which
increase efficiency and minimizes costs for the overall settlement. The 0 G Industrial cylinder will not be
rotating however the torii have variable G levels as defined by the rotation and will be the primary center for
interplanetary ship construction, one of the primary targets of Bellevistat. The microgravity zones will be
hybridized to include not only recreation and research but also serve as a communication center for the whole
settlement. A large base of operations, constructed on the moon will be used to source lunar materials to
minimize contact with earth to save millions in launch costs, making the settlement economically sustainable.
A vast inter-torus system defines the localized transport, reducing transport times, which is necessary given the
size of the settlement. Generating energy both through solar and nuclear sources, the solar panels on the
radiation shields contribute to the generated power and the nuclear energy fulfils the energy requirements and
the magnetic tube, while high in initial costs, is ground-breaking in terms of the electrical energy it generates
from the cargo ships to land on the moon. The innovative expansion system allows us to expand essentially
everything, without impending ongoing processes in any part of the structure and especially gives us substantial
area to construct the “Stock Hub”.
Bellevistat will have a construction cost of approximately 2.9-3.6 trillion dollars. A range has been given since
that is the expected cost which will only be calculated to 100 percent accuracy once we encounter or reach
future stages of construction. Furthermore, we expect that after around 10 years of reaching FOC, our
settlement will go into profit and cover up the construction costs.

The Agricultural Module is the section of Bellevistat responsible for all agriculture related activities such as
crop cutivation and processing of crops. To achieve higher/unform vertical clearnace without affecting down
surface area throughout the torus to facilitate our fogponic vertical farms, a slightly cuboid shape has been
adopted for the cross section of our torii since an ellipse shape does not have a unifrom vertical clearance at
every point

Values of 0.9-1.1 RPM have been chosen for all constructed tori due to:

2.1.4 Rotation Interface between Rotating and Non Rotating Sections
Our settlement will be utilizing a Hybrid Magnetic Bearing System incorporating elements of Passive and
Active Bearing Systems. This is due to the lack of any moving parts and friction. Passive Magnetic Bearings
involving permanent magnets on their own are impractical due to limitations imposed by Earnshaw’s Theorem
and lack of any damping which means additional measures are required to gain sufficient stability against
disturbances. Figure 2.1.4(a)
For this, we will be using electromagnets which are part of an
automatic correction loop. Hence, permanent magnets will carry the
static load and the active magnetic bearing is used mainly when the
spokes deviate from their optimum position. This has the advantage of
reducing total electricity usage compared to plain active magnetic
bearings, reducing costs in the long run.
The electromagnets will be superconducting and will be cooled to
cryogenic temperatures by liquid Helium which will allow us to
generate Magnetic Fields of up to 60 Teslas. For deviation correction,
the polarity of a deliberate number of electromagnets will be changed
so as to generate a resultant vector which will return our torus to its
optimum position. Neodymium-Iron magnets will be used as our
permanent magnets of choice on account of their strong magnetic
fields. Soft iron cores will be used for magnetic flux linkage and to increase the net magnetic field.

Table 2.3.3(a)- Rotation Initiation Phases


Phase 1 A couple of forces will be applied tangentially to the torus which will cause a net torque. This will
generate an angular acceleration whose vector will pass through the central axle (into/out of the
page)
Phase 2 Once 50 percent of the time taken to initiate rotation has passed, the magnitude of the couple will
be gradually decreased until it becomes zero. At this point, net torque will be zero and desired
RPM will be achieved.
Phase 3 During interior construction, when buildings will be constructed, the mass of the torus will
increase which will have the effect of increasing the Moment of Inertia of the structure and hence
decreasing RPM. When this happens, the couple will be applied for a period of time to increase
the RPM to the desired level.

3.1.1-Bellevistat will operate in orbit around the Earth-
Luna L4 liberation point

Bellevistat will operate in orbit around the Ceres–Sun L4 Lagrange Point, a region where the combined gravitational forces
of Ceres and the Sun create a stable orbital position. At this location, the settlement will experience equilibrium, requiring
minimal propulsion for station-keeping. The settlement will maintain a continuous solar-facing orientation, optimizing
energy collection and thermal management. This strategic positioning also ensures efficient access to interplanetary trade
routes and resource extraction operations from Ceres' surface, supporting long-term sustainability.

Agricultural Processes
Bellevistat’s agricultural system consists of eight partitions within the torus. Four are designated for staple crops,
maintained at different temperatures for optimal growth, while three are used for fruit cultivation. The final partition is
dedicated to agricultural processing and storage. Crops are grown using fogponics, with 28 modular towers containing 12
plants each. These towers utilize ultrasonic mist generators to deliver nutrients and optimize resource use.

Harvesting and plantation are fully automated, with robotic arms conducting precise crop collection. Agrodrones transport
harvested produce to designated storage silos. Additionally, fruits are cultivated on decorative trees within the residential
torus.

Meat production is achieved through stem cell culture. Bovine muscle stem cells are incubated and expanded in bioreactors
to form synthetic meat. Milk is generated via precision fermentation, with coconut fats added for a natural texture.

Atmosphere Regulation
Bellevistat employs multiple atmospheric regulation techniques.

 Dehumidifiers control humidity by cooling air, condensing excess water, and filtering it out. The dehumidifiers use
a system of heat exchangers to dissipate excess heat, leading to condensation of water droplets, which are filtered
through a hydrophobic cone, screen, and sump. The extent of dehumidification is regulated by temperature variation
and process frequency.
 Cloud Seeding utilizes silver iodide to release ice crystals into the atmosphere, serving as condensation nuclei that
trigger a chain reaction of water vapor condensation until droplets form and fall as rain. Ceiling ducts distribute
silver iodide particles to regulate atmospheric water levels.
 CO2 Scrubbing is conducted via zeolite granules, which absorb carbon dioxide when air is passed through them.
The zeolite is regenerated through heating and exposure to a vacuum, effectively removing excess CO2.
 Solid Oxide Electrolysis Stacks manage oxygen concentration and pressure by utilizing electrochemical processes.

Power Generation and Storage


Bellevistat’s energy needs are met through Gallium Arsenide solar cells integrated into its radiation shield. These high-
efficiency panels are coupled with perovskite layers to enhance light absorption. Electricity is distributed to residential,
industrial, and agricultural sectors via a central grid. Excess energy is stored using Power-to-X (PtX) technology,
converting surplus electricity into green fuels through Solid-Oxide Electrolysis Cells (SOECs). These cells double as fuel
stacks, enhancing energy efficiency and minimizing degradation.

3.3- Jigs must keep components aligned and precisely in Figure 3.3(a)
proper position until they are joined
Construction jigs used in Bellevistat are in the form of an
symmetric structure. At any given time, up to 10 robots can
work by attaching themselves to any of the arms of the jig. Each
construction robot will have a small rod protruding out of it, like
a key. Meanwhile each arm, will have the “lock” for this key, or
in other words, a hole specific to that rod. In this way robots can
attach onto any set of arms, making construction easier. The
body of jigs will be made of 2DPA-1 and aluminum alloys to Figure 3.3(b)
increase shock absorption capability of jigs.
The arms will be retractable, able to extend up to a length of
20 meters, and will be made of titanium and steel alloys,
with joints to allow rotating ability of arms. The clamps and
connecting rods will allow the jig to hold the 2 sections in
place until they are joined together by bolts permanently.
Assembling the jig will be done in 2 stages. First, the 2
respective halves of the jig will be assembled independently.
The main body will be assembled by joining individual sheets of DPA-1 shipped in CASSCS after which
joints,
individual arms and clamps will be attached to it. The 2 half jigs at this point will be secured to the section
protrusion through fitting the clamps on the structure and the connecting rods will then be attached to both
halves to keep the jig in place.
3.4-Bellevistat will provide MRO dock facilities for visiting ships:
Table 3.4(a)-MRO Dock Facilities
There will be a single-entry point for the MRO Dock whereby all procedures for maintenance, repair and
any/all sorts of overhauling would take place. There will be 1 MRO port at IOC and 3 at FOC located in the
Stock Hub
The MRO Dock's docking mechanism is composed of 2 robotic arms. Upon arrival, the first arm will
rotate the ship 180 degrees, and the second arm will clamp onto the ship. This two-step procedure
will guide the ship to the center of the MRO Dock, where permanent clamps will securely hold the
ship in place. This process ensures a stable docking of the ship before any procedures are initiated.

4.1.1- Community Outline
Bellevistat strives to provide a fruitful, holistic experience for all residents, involving all, business, pleasure and
comfort at a level to rival the lives the residents had on Earth. Bellevistat’s community will not be divided by
discrete divisions, but will rather be a continuous design, shown in the form of a gradient of the community,
where one end of the community will embody a more town-like, nature influenced feel, and the other a futuristic
metropolitan city, characterized by building, plant and greenery.
The metropolitan area is defined by its densely concentrated buildings, large commercial centers, and multiple
recreational facilities that are highly concentrated, as well as the less parks. The town area stands out due to its
high park to building density, high number of residential facilities and an exclusive raised houses built on semi-
inclined platform.

5.1 Automation for Construction and Finishing of the settlement:
All robots will be sourced from Alexandriat till Initial Operating Capacity has been reached at Bellevistat, at which point
we will begin to produce it on the settlement itself.
5.1.1 External Construction
Robot 1: Robot 1 will mainly be used for the small distance Figure 5.1.1(a)
transportation of materials and for welding metal components using
the process of laser beam welding which will prove more beneficial
and efficient for Bellevistat’s construction process than conventional
welding techniques. The deep and narrow fusion zone produces a
significantly smaller heat affected zone resulting in less reductions in
mechanical property and adjoint thermal distortions. More accurate
welds will help in reducing the deterioration of parts. One arm will be
equipped with the laser welding module and will make calculated
movements to ensure the welding process is accurate and that the
unique properties of the method can be fully utilized. Two more arms will be present at the back of the robot that will be
able to extend, holding objects in the zero g environment so that they are not displaced during the welding process. An
attachment will also be present behind the robot (which is not shown in the image) which will allow it to connect with
jigs.
Bolter 1000: Each of Bellevistat’s tori will be made using specific segments that
Figure will be bolted together to secure the connection between every segment. Two Bolter
5.1.1(b) 1000s will be present on each side of the segment. With the help of micro-modular
robots (refer to 5.2.5), these robots will insert the bolt into the segment joining hole
after which these robots will use their arms, which can open to a maximum of 3m,
to fasten bolts on either side of the bolts at the same time. Each robot will apply the
same torque and stop at the same time, thereby keeping the tightness of the nuts on
both sides constant.
5.1.2 Internal Construction Figure 5.1.2(a)
Robo-Craft: Bellevistat will host its residents in beautiful apartments and
homes; Robo-Craft ensures that they exceed expectations. It will be used for
the interior finishing of the settlement, particularly the residential areas.
Equipped with 3 claw-based arms that make calculated movements, its tool
compartment will contain all that it needs to carry out its tasks.
3D-Printer Robot: As everything
cannot be prebuilt and multiple
decorative items and construction
process materials are needed, our 3D
Printer Robot will be present every step
of the way. It will be attached to a rover like module which will allow it to move
throughout the construction area. A printing module will be present on the surface
above the wheels in a closed chamber. The claw shaped arms will pick it up and
place it in the area where it is required and send a signal to the relevant robot to
collect it.
5.2.2.1 Automation Functions for Settlement Safety
Automation being used on Bellevistat will ensure that the settlement and its residents are kept safe in case of any
criminal activity, hazard, or emergency damage the settlement sustains. The entire settlement will be networked using
cameras and environmental sensors across the settlement. This system will use a sophisticated Artificial Intelligence
module which will be connected to all monitoring systems through the main server. The AI will perform facial
recognition using governmental databases. It will also analyze data from the extensive sensor network to identify any
ongoing gas leaks and explosions. Data from this monitoring system will be stored on tertiary servers on each torus for
30 days to allow quick access to settlement authorities. In case of a hull breach, the monitoring system will immediately
send signals to nearby micro-modular robots and recreational robots with information regarding the size of the breach.
Recreational Robots will execute an evacuation protocol to take nearby humans to secure areas. Micro-modular robots
will deploy a large honeycomb shaped mesh made of Kevlar fiber and seal off the damaged area using easy to carry,
expanding foam
made of isocyanate polymer. This foam hardens to become as solid as rock in just a few seconds in the presence of air.
After that, buckystructure coating on the solidified foam will prevent any further radiation from entering the settlement.
The Kevlar mesh will provide support to the whole system, similar to blood-clotting, until proper repair can be done.
Micro-modular robots will swarm the area in groups to spray fire retardant. With AIs, however, there always remains a
chance of misidentification, leading to false alarms and thus wastage of resources. Therefore, officers will always be
stationed in the main control room to verify the safety breach. If it is a false alarm, the officer will shut down all
alarms and revert all robots back to normal functioning protocols.
5.2.2.2 Emergency Codes and Alerts
Code Possible Meaning of each Code
● Catastrophic Failure of all life support systems in the region
Red ● Extreme Hull Damage/ Cavity
● All residents to be evacuated immediately by all nearby robots
● Emergency Repair Protocol to be initiated (refer to 5.2.2.1)
● Failure of multiple settlement systems
Purple ● Warning Sirens will alert residents of the problem
● Recreational and other robots present in residential areas will escort residents
to secure areas
● Major mechanical failure
Yellow ● Residents will be alerted if the problem aggravates
● Area to be closed off for inspection and investigation
● Report to be sent to Earth
● Minor mechanical issue
Green ● Residents not to be alerted
● Life support systems are working normally Table 5.2.2.2(a)
● Control Room send Micro-Modular Robots to take appropriate measures
5.2.3.1 Spaceship Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) System
At the MRO Dock, sophisticated diagnostic systems will read the standardized specifications of the spacecraft in
question and analyze each and every component onboard the vessel in search of any issues. There will be systems
designed to repair oxygenators, atmosphere regulators and water reclaiming machines, which are the backbone of any
manned vessel in space. There will be robots to repair navigation systems as well as robots that are programmed to
repair most mainstream chemical, electrical and ion engines.
All of this will be supervised by trained human experts who will be prepared to intervene in the event of damage to the
MRO system, repair of unknown spacecraft and other unforeseen issues in the maintenance and repair of spacecraft.
For the repair of spaceship hulls, there are two systems; one for small cracks caused by strain and another for larger
cracks and holes. In the first system, we will integrate custom-made nanobots from subcontractor ‘Nano Solutions’ with
air-tight sealant Supreme 12 AOHT-LO, an epoxy that meets low outgassing specifications for sealants in space.
Sealant will be stored in nanobots, which will release sealant to seal cracks of up to 2 cm width.
In the second system, we will use micro-modular robots (refer to 5.2.5) to solder aluminum onto the crack in an additive
process, layering the outermost parts of the crack and incrementally moving inwards till the crack has been filled.
Soldering is a strong fabrication process when using a strong material.
To repair large sections of outer layering, laser welding robots will remove old and attach new pieces of hull to damage-
affected areas. These robots will ensure that the spaceship is as good as it was before.

Efficiency and ease of working conditions is extremely important so settlement officers and staff can focus on the main
problems at hand. To cater to this demand, the AI Prometheus will assist workers in routine tasks. This work and other
adjoint tasks will automatically be carried out by the artificial intelligence package and provide it to the officer for a
glance to see if everything is in place, thereby not only saving time but also letting the officer focus on more important
tasks. File storage, backup of critical data and flagging different tasks into appropriate sections will also be automatically
done. More importantly, the AI will understand the officer it its appointed to and keep him active and energized through
fun conversations throughout office hours.

6.1.3- Gantt charts
Business Development
Farming Resources:

1. Hydroponics/Aeroponics Farming
o Hydroponic or aeroponic systems could be used to grow plants using nutrient-rich solutions or mist. These
systems can be designed to work in closed-loop ecosystems, essential for space farming.
o Crops: Leafy greens, mushrooms, herbs, strawberries, tomatoes, and other high-nutrient crops that require
little space and can grow quickly in controlled environments.
2. Insect Farming
o Though they are a questionable source of food among many societies, insects are a sustainable source of
protein and could be farmed in space due to their minimal resource requirements. Farming insects like
crickets or mealworms could provide an alternative protein source for space colonies.
3. Medicinal Plants and Biotech Research
o The environment of Ceres could be used to study how medicinal plants or bioengineered organisms grow
under different conditions that would not be possible on Earth. This research could lead to breakthroughs in
pharmaceuticals, plant biology, and genetic engineering.
4. Energy Farming (Solar or Algae Biofuel)
o Although Ceres is far from the Sun, solar energy or biofuel generated by algae farming could power space
colonies. Algae can also produce biofuels, offering a renewable energy source for space missions.
o Indirect Solar Energy: Solar panels placed on the orbiting settlement could still harvest sunlight despite
Ceres’ distance from the Sun. Advances in solar technology will maximize efficiency, providing a stable
power source.
5. Terraforming Research Projects
o Sponsorships from space agencies, research institutes, or environmental organizations could fund the
development of small-scale experiments in terraforming or regolith-based agriculture. Ceres could serve as a
testbed for future attempts to make inhospitable planetary bodies more Earth-like for human habitation.
6. Aquaponics with Space-Farmed Fish
o Aquaponics combines fish farming (aquaculture) with hydroponics in a symbiotic system. It’s a sustainable
method that uses waste from fish to fertilize plants. This kind of closed-loop system could be vital for life
support in space.

Mineral & Resource Utilization:

 Regolith: The thick layer of fragmented material covering Ceres' surface can be used for radiation shielding, 3D
printing construction materials, and structural components.
 Volatiles: Hydrogen, oxygen, and methane locked in Ceres’ icy crust can be extracted for life support and fuel
production.

Sponsorship Engagement Strategies:

 Brand Visibility: Space farming projects could be a marketing platform for companies looking to brand themselves
as pioneers in space exploration and sustainability.
 Collaborative Research: Sponsorships could involve the co-development of new technologies for space agriculture
that have direct Earth applications.
 Publicity and PR Campaigns: High-profile space missions and farming experiments could generate significant
media coverage, offering companies global exposure.
 Exclusive Partnerships: Offering companies exclusive rights to commercialize the outcomes of space farming
research (e.g., a company could have the rights to market the first space-grown food products on Earth).
