1.0 Executive Summary
Aynah
1. The structure of Aynah is designed in-line with natural solar bodies with acceptable modifications to meet the specific requirements of the proposed settlement. The basic structure would be that of a torus. 2. Aynah has been divided into three zones: the Residential Torus, the Agro Torus, and the Industrial Cylinder. This would alleviate all expected impacts of one on the other. 3. Orbital altitude, rotational rate, day/night cycles and values/means for artificial gravity are considered vital for the stability of Aynah and hence are arrived at based on sound scientific calculations. 4. The Residential Torus accommodates four separable habitable volumes so that evacuation of residents from one to the other is possible under all conditions of emergencies. 5. The construction of Aynah will begin using the parts produced by the existing manufacturing facility on the Mercury. The Industrial Cylinder will be built and made operational to begin with so that the parts for the construction of the Residential and Agro tori can be produced on-board Aynah. This construction sequence would bring down the cost of construction significantly. 6. Aynah shall provide earth-like facilities to its residents in terms of climate, water, food, power, waste management, communication mechanisms and internal transportation facilities. 7. Community requirements over the basic requirements indicated above that include housing, parks, and recreational facilities, medical facilities, and 1g requirements for children among others, shall be provided for the residents of Aynah. 8. Human requirements over and above the basic community requirements, indicated above, which would enhance productivity at work place and house hold conveniences on the residential view point are proposed to get addressed during the construction of Aynah. Such requirements shall include automated systems for routine tasks (at work place and also at residential), use of computing resources, use of robotic uses for personalized tasks (of course repetitive), data security and authentication. Hence, Northdonning Heedwell has proposed a practical, feasible design to construct Aynah using state-of-the-art technology and make it operational. Further, Northdonning Heedwell has also presented business perspective of Aynah in terms of strategies to be employed in sequence so that the Foundation Society shall be in a position to start business, generate revenue and eventually generate profit and more importantly, sustain their desired line of business with adequate diversifications for long stretch of time. In view of the above and the assured sincere attempts to fulfill all commitments made in the proposal, Northdonning Heedwell, herewith, express their keen interest in working for Foundation Society on this prestigious earth-shaking project of building Aynah. With this, Northdonning Heedwell expects an award of the project in their favor by the Foundation Society.

Exectutive Summary
This proposal is prepared by Northdonning Heedwell and is being submitted to the Foundation Society in response to their RFP dated 1st Jan. 2077. The overall objective of the RFP is to design, develop and implement a space settlement in the orbit of Mercury. Foundation Society has named this settlement Aynah in honour of Ayn Rand an author who described the properties of Reardonium, a miracle metal, in her novel Atlas Shrugged. Mining the surface of Mercury for Reardonium, refining the Reardonium ore, manufacturing Reardonium parts using refined Reardonium and related activities constitute the core occupation of Aynah. Based on this capability, the Foundation society intends to transform Aynah into a profitable business venture. Northdonning Heedwell has fully understood this intent of the Foundation society and has prepared this proposal to fulfill the intent in its entirety. Northdonning Heedwell proposes to build and deploy Aynah and commits to complete the entire project within a span of sixteen years. The salient features of Aynah provisioned in its design by Northdonning Heedwell are enumerated as follows:

2.0 Provisions for natural views of Mercury from Aynah
Aynah
Aynah has a Hanging Garden- an observatory where residents can enjoy natural views of Mercury in a low-gravity environment for a short amount of time. As the settlement revolves in its polar orbit, the observatory, which is fitted on a movable ring, is always orientated to face Mercury. The observatory can accommodate a maximum of 150 people at a time.The close-up view of the observatory is shown in Fig 2.0.1, and a pictorial representation of the Hanging Gardens in the observatory is shown in Fig 2.0.2.

Retractable walls Description and working
2.1.4 Isolation of the settlement into habitable volumes T1, T2, and the Industrial Cylinder consist of 4 sectors, each being independent of each other. In the event of any emergency such as depressurization, the compromised sector is cordoned off. Aynah will use retractable walls for isolation of the settlement into habitable volumes.
Aynah
Retractable walls, made up of high quality Reardonium and Aluminium will emerge from the ceiling in the event of an emergency, sealing and isolating the compromised sector, following which, specialised robots built to handle such situations spring into action and bring the situation under control. After the danger is over, the retractable walls retract into the ceiling. The population in the sector is evacuated prior to such a procedure. 1] Quick and efficient functioning; 2] The emergency is concentrated only to a certain segment(s) thus not affecting the rest of the torus/cylinder, or the settlement as a whole
Advantages
2.1.4.1 Evacuation
During an emergency, isolation of the sector, the residents must be evacuated. To carry this out quickly and efficiently, Aynah has been provided with EVAC pods. These pods are kept in the inter-sector pod stations, to be used only during an emergency. These pods are designed to hold a large number of people, are capable of high 10m speeds and are ideal for quickly carrying out a large-scale evacuation.

Construction of interior structures will take place using a special method: compression of Mercurian dust into bricks using high intensity compressive devices. The construction panels for the settlement (glass panels, bricks, solar panel layers) will be gelled in a specially designed construction factory located at the Industrial Cylinder of Aynah.Interior robots will transfer material on spot and fix the construction panel in the skeletal structure prepared during construction (readymade module construction).Ready-made floors, roofs and walls will be transported to the settlement exterior and quickly assembled. The walls & floors will contain ready-made plumbing and wiring which will be connected to the main pipes and circuits during assembly. The construction robots will assemble everything, thus enabling fast and efficient construction. They produce less waste and are energy efficient. Fig.2.3.3.1 shows the factory located at the industrial zone.
The industrial zone comprises of Reardonium industries of area 100,000sq.ft and 60ft ceiling height. It provides variation in gravity from 0g to 0.5g and variations in pressure from 0 psi to 20 psi.

Structural Design
Artificial gravity for the Industrial Cylinder will be supplied after the completion of phase 3, while artificial gravity for the Residential and Agro tori will be supplied after phase 5 has been completed. A series of electric motors powered by solar energy will be placed in the rotation zones of the rotating structures (T1 and T2, and the Industrial Cylinder) and will be collectively used to initiate rotation of the rotating structures to the required RPM (0.95 RPM for T1 and T2, and 1 RPM for the Industrial Cylinder). Due to the vacuum of space and lack of atmosphere around Mercury, once rotation has been initiated, it will continue to rotate since there is no opposing force to the rotation. In the event of a collision of the rotating structures with any space debris, the angular momentum will decrease. Therefore, special Angular Momentum and Velocity (AMV) sensors will be installed in the rotating zones, which will send a signal to the Control Center in the event of such an emergency. The Control Center will then activate the electric motors in the rotation zones, increasing the RPM and bringing the situation under control.

Fig 2.5.1.1 Cross section of the hull of the settlement 2.5.3 Preventing evaporation
If the water contained within the compartment evaporated, it would tend to exert a great amount of pressure on the walls, thus causing them to crack and weaken. To prevent this, the outer wall has been reinforced with two layers of Reardonium. Thus, the amount of heat reaching the water will not be sufficient to raise its temperature enough to cause evaporation

Structural Design
The hull of the settlement will consist of two walls: an inner wall and an outer wall. The inner wall consists of one layer of Reardonium while the outer wall has two layers. These walls will be separated by a gap 20 inches wide. Within this gap, water will be filled. Since the outer wall is directly exposed to the heat, it will comprise of two Reardonium layers, having control joints at the junctions of Reardonium panels. Both layers will have control joints. The inner wall will not have any control joints. To counter the problem of leakage in the event of a puncture, the water will be contained in vacuumized compartments, where each compartment is 50m wide and separated by 2m thick wall of Reardonium. A section of the hull of the settlement showing the inner and outer wall, the compartment walls, and the expansion joints in the outer wall is shown in Fig 2.5.1.2.

3.0 Operations and Infrastructure 3.1.1 Orbital location
Aynah
To make life possible and sustainable on Aynah, Operations and infrastructure play a very important role. The infrastructure is developed by efficient robots which are capable of constructing a huge settlement around Mercury. What is a settlement without any life? For that, operations provide the basic requirements to make life sustainable on Aynah. Aynah is provided with the perfect atmospheric and weather conditions, day and night cycles, varieties of food items, excellent waste and water management systems, communication systems, transport systems and the orbital location. Aynah would be located on the Sun facing Mercury polar orbit (Polar Orbits are 90 degree inclination orbits useful for space crafts to carry out mapping and surveillance operations around Mercury). Planet Mercury rotates below its polar orbit, enabling Aynah to have low-altitude access to virtually every point on Mercurys surface. The polar orbit gives complete coverage of Mercurys surface to Aynah. Orbital Altitude (at Mercury North Polar Orbit). 7500-15000km Feature Reason
The eccentricity (deviation of an orbit from a circle) and inclination at this location (in the Mercury Polar Orbit) is optimized for the study of planet, acceptable re-radiated heat from mercury surface. The region in this range of orbit does not have that much debris Aynah would also be protected from Solar Winds.
Aynah would be in this orbital altitude as at this point the settlement will be stable and not fall off orbit and this location also fits the requirements, that is; Aynah would be orbiting Mercury for raw materials (Manufacture of Reardonium). Solar energy is available in ideal quantity (neither in excess nor in shortage).

3.2.2 Food requirements:Activity Growing Technology/Strategy
Aynah
Aeroponics and Hydroponics farming techniques will be used to grow crops in the Agricultural torus. An automated timer would spray a nutrient solution to the roots at regular intervals. The plants are illuminated with red and blue LED lights which is ideal for their growth.
Storing Packaging
Food products after processing are stored at low temperatures in the depot area of each sector where they are refrigerated to prevent bacterial growth. The food products in Aynah are packed using Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) technique which is used to increase the shelf-life of fresh or minimally processed food. These are coated with chitosan which acts as an antimicrobial film which helps to prevent the food from bacterial attacks.
Delivering The groceries are delivered from each depot area to markets/utility areas in each and Selling housing blocks by means of pods. These groceries are sold in these markets.
Meat:-Two types of meats will be provided to the Residents:-1) Meat Analogues would be produced from plant proteins.2) In Vitro Meat would be made from animal muscle cells
Dairy Products:- Dairy Analogues will be produced to provide the residents with dairy products. They are composed of processed rice, soy, almond, cashew, gluten, nutritional, yeast that are made to taste like milk, cheese, yoghurt, mayonnaise, cream, cheese, butter and other dairy products
Some genetically modified crop plants and flowers will also be grown in the Residential Sector to provide a better environment, to add to the aesthetic value and for Air Composition Maintenance. *An average of 2.14 kg of food will be provided to all the residents of Anconioh. So the total requirement will be around 30000 kg per day. Production The electrical power for Aynah will be produced primarily by using solar energy which will be harnessed by the SOLARIS SHIELD which has one layer of Gallium Arsenide solar panels and three layers of transparent Graphene solar panels. On irradiating graphene sheets with sunlight, light of almost any wavelength splits into two regions with different electrical properties which creates a temperature difference that eventually turns into electrical current. Gallium Arsenide also provides protection against radiation. Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) will also be used to generate electricity as a secondary source. A special type of bacteria called Bacillus Stratosphericus will be used in these MFCs. These bacteria can generate twice the amount of electricity generated by other bacteria in MFCs. It can convert waste/flowing water into power. Inside an MFC, the organisms produce carbon dioxide, protons and electrons when kept in a solution without oxygen. Liberated electrons form a negatively charged anode while the protons create a positively charged cathode. This produces both charges necessary to produce an electric current. Storage Nano capacitors will be used to store the electricity produced. It is ten times more efficient than any conventional method thereby allowing a tenfold increase in power density. It consists of millions of virtually identical nanostructures designed to store, carry, and deliver electrical energy. The system exploits various combinations of standard physical properties to achieve higher power, more storage, and rapid recharging. Their storage capacity (which depends on surface area) is also boosted by using nanofabrication which will again increase it massively.These Nano capacitors will be placed below the Solaris Shield in a flattened cylindrical zone.
Northdonning Heedwell 13
Harvesting Agrobots will slice and harvest the crops. The cubicles are re-seeded soon after harvesting by the same Agrobots. These Agrobots are fed with knowledge of every crop growing in Aynah and they analyse the situation and the current status of the crops and decide whether to harvest or not. After harvesting, the crops are sent to the processing unit where the crops are processed in these areas into usable food products.

1) Ice from the poles of Mercury would be collected by a specially built spacecraft Volturnus which will use subsidiary robots contained in its hull which will crush the ice and then transfer it to the water tanks after which the Volturnus will fly back to Aynah. After the initial acquisition of water from Mercury each year the Volturnus will go back to Mercury to replenish the water supplies. The 2 tanks in Volturnus have the capacity to carry 22680 litres of water of each, so the total capacity of water it can carry is 45360 litres. 2) Fuel cells will be used as a backup in case of any water shortage or emergency. The water in Aynah is stored using tanks which are made up of fiberglass as it is lightweight, extremely strong, and robust material. The residential torus will have 10 tanks while the Agricultural torus and the Industrial torus will have 4 big tanks each. Sewage water is treated and purified using dual-membrane (via microfiltration and reverse osmosis) and ultra violet technology in addition to conventional water treatment. This water is portable and can be consumed. Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) will also be used to treat the water separately. Water between the exoskeleton of Aynah will also be cleaned using the MFCs with Bacillus Stratosphericus.

The Main form of Data Storage among the portable devices and other computing devices would be Carbon nanodots to store data. For other devices, holographic and molecular memory would be used. This enables them to store huge quantities of data in comparatively smaller spaces. By securing data in such carbon nanodots, backup encrypted data is always ensured the users.
All personal computing systems are connected to their designated server made specifically for the device based communications. The main server (Cleos) will record data to the backup servers to provide for a seamless integration between the two and to have backup in case of an emergency or main server breakdown. Every device present at Aynah would transfer and receive data using High speed newer generation LTE networks, which would allow rapid and uninterrupted networking. Boosters will be provided within Ayanh and would maintain the signal strength throughout. All data transfer in the settlement will be encrypted a technique known as Quantum Cryptography.
Construction of Aynah has been made fully automated to minimize human labor requirement due to the extremities in conditions at the work stations. By incorporating Artificial Intelligence, a method by which systems learn and adapt to a given set of conditions over a particular time period and by using External human involvement (Human-robot interaction), intricate parts of the construction process is made simple and easy. The robotic systems are programmed to suit the particular requirement and are fitted with edge detectors; pattern detectors etc which help them maximize their efficiency.
The Helix is fully automated exterior construction model and is imported from Bellevistat. Before arranging the Helix model onto the exo skeleton .It is programmed with its specific construction sequence and schematics and this is analyzed and learnt by the artificial intelligence built into them. By imprinting each of the construction materials with a unique barcode- it is read by the sensor on board the Helix and determines its correct usage. The Helix comes in two main configurations, the linear and the ring shaped configurations (known as the Helix L and the Double Helix). The ring shaped configurations is used for construction of the major circular parts of Aynah such as the torii and the linear configuration is used for construction of the straight structures such as the central hull.

In both form of configurations, the small localized arms receive the materials and the uses its intelligence to determine the usage and manipulated them using laser welders and plasma cutters and eventually attach sections using concrete nozzles which keep reardonium block layers together. Linear configurations undergo same processes, but, their construction process is linearly carried out. To ensure that construction is carried out in scheduled time, Pegasus shuttles constantly supply reardonium parts, after curing from mercury surface and contact the Helix constructors using Infrared Beacon technology and ensure that they have materials and prevent any delay due to lack of materials.

Administrative accounts is secured by a method known as Quantum Cryptography which is the most reliable method out of most known methods in terms of network security. Advantage of quantum cryptography lies in the fact that it allows the completion of various cryptographic tasks that are proven or conjectured to be impossible using only classical (i.e., non-quantum) communication . In particular, quantum mechanics guarantees that measuring quantum data disturbs that data; this can be used to detect an adversary's interference with a message. Personal Computers of residents and work accounts can also only be accessed by fingerprint and retina scans. All methods of verification of authorized use of the system are encrypted to prevent identity theft and exposure to sensitive information
5.3.7 Personal delivery of internal and external communication, entertainment, information, computing and robot resources
Communication within and outside the settlement will be through the AICD. Information delivery and pod controls will be based in the AICD and through this harmonious integration, residents will have a hassle free delivery of their specific personal data and controls to their personal robot resources.

The Chloris robot is a helper bot used for various purposes such as harvesting crops, spraying pesticides and planting of new seeds to be used as a substitute for human labor. The Chloris (Greek for Goddess of flowers) is specially designed to automate harvesting of crops and spraying of pesticides in lieu of the various processes such as aeroponics employed in growth of crops on Aynah. Using color producers such as RGB (Red, green blue) LEDs and detectors such as Photoresistors, the ED-13 detects the size of the crops and picks them up in accordance to their capabilities. Different sized ED-13s will be available to harvest different types of crops, depending on their sizes. The ED-13s work on Photoresistance effect. The sensors emit light at different heights, and they themselves receive again and process the colors. Depending on the color they receive, they can determine the height and harvest accordingly. For efficient growth of crops, the ED-13s may emit colors such as red, green and blue on the crops. By doing so, the crops get benefitted and grow more effectively.

5.4 Automation for Reardonium refining 5.4.1 Automation for efficiency of reardonium manufacturing
By using the best and most efficient methods of reardonium refining as determined by the Foundation Society metallurgists, efficiency in manufacturing of reardonium is increased. The raw ore arriving from the base at mercury will be unloaded at the docking area by a series of mechanical arms which place them onto the special pods which are used for carrying reardonium to the refining area. The motion of the blocks of reardonium through its refining process will be made possible by using large sets of conveyer belts which transfer the blocks from one stage of refining to another. The reardonium refining process will take place on a set of special conveyor belts having air suction pumps which creates pressure between the belt and the ore and help it to operate even during minimal gravity.

Mechanized arms are used to carry out reardonium blocks from the shuttle and put them onto special conveyer belts which then load the reardonium onto a special pod which carries the reardonium to the refinery. Note: The mechanized arms are built to handle both the 1 cubic foot block of reardonium and the 40 by 100 foot construction panel.

Like on Aynah, a set of mechanized arms help in loading and unloading the reardonium block onto the RetroV. Note: The mechanized arms are built to handle both the 1 cubic foot block of reardonium and the 40 by 100 foot construction panel. The RetroV helps the Lex in carrying around the reardonium bloacks to different latitudes for curing to impart different properties to the reardonium blocks.

Operational Scenario
Aynah
The Lex can not only manipulate reardonium in many ways, but, can shield itself from solar flares by its safe configuration.
Hey, its the rover! This rover helps to check the curing process and the humans inside help in over-riding the programs of the Lex and the RetroV in case of emergencies

Operational Scenario
Aynah
Refining is done. Curing has just finished. The reardonium rides back to Aynah on the Pegasus shuttle and is ready to be shipped back to customers once orders come in.
