Abtract- In this paper, we explore the possibility of a distributed communication network that permeates the base infrastructure. These structures consist of modular components that can collect, process, store, and communicate information in a distributed fashion. These networks can make localized decisions independently and offload routine maintenance responsibilities from astronauts, improving the efficiency of base operations and overall safety. We examine the technologies and algorithms available to establish a distributed network within modular base building block components. We analyze units embedded with electronics as a potential candidates, as well as a rudimentary plan for an early lunar base. Some projected functions are detailed. We also compare this concept of a “smart” and conventional lunar bases by simulating plausible catastrophes and examining either base's response.
