1.0 Executive Summary
“The Earth is the cradle of humanity,
but mankind cannot stay in the
cradle forever.”
For centuries, man has tried to study
and explore the universe to expand
the human settlement. The
boundaries have been expanded over
the years even to the hottest planet in
our solar system. Fulfilling the
vision and dream of living in Venus’
orbit and having its natural views
from space and research on it more,
we present the Aphroditav Space
Settlement.

3.1.3 PACKAGING OF CASSSCs
Mobile shelves/compartments will be installed in
CASSSCs to enable larger accommodation of cargo
till the top of each CASSSC. For loading cargo in the
CASSSC, a robot called Packatron will be set up at
the centre of the CASSSC. A conveyor belt will carry
the packed materials into the CASSSC. The materials
would be then picked up, tagged to keep track of
them, and then inserted into the mobile shelves by
Packatron. For tracking the cargo, RTLS tags would
be used for identification. When unloading, this robot
would pick the materials from the shelf and place
them on a conveyor belt which would transport them
to their required location. Packatron would also have
sensors to identify empty shelves and for recognising
the materials for loading and unloading.

4.3.2- Evacuation
4.3.2.1- Accommodation and Evacuation plan
In case of emergency in one volume, the people residing in that volume would be shifted immediately
to another non-compromised volume through numerous airlocks. The evacuees would be
accommodated in CASSSCs which would be repurposed into small compartments which would fulfil
basic needs of the evacuees until the compromised volume is repaired. All volumes will have certain
amount of CASSSCs for repurposing in case of emergencies. CASSSCs will even have minor
thrusters to transport people to safe areas, these will be automated by automations for a seamless
experience.

4.3.2.2- Information to passengers
Residents and passengers are informed about emergencies in 2 different ways4.3.2.2.1- PCD
In case of any emergency all passengers would hear an alarm sound on their PCD’s which would be
generated by the control centres and would reach the PCD through the servers. The owner would be
directed towards their nearest airlock to evacuate the volume. The PCD will continue the alarm until it
is manually stopped by the owner of the PCD. If the owner is in danger zone for more than 1 minute,
the alarm will again go on. This will continue to happen until the passenger/resident is safe. If the
owner of the PCD is unresponsive and stationery for more than 5 minutes, the PCD would inform the
medic bot.(Refer 5.3)
4.3.2.2.2- Speakers in public places
Apart from PCDs loudspeakers would be
installed throughout public places, which would
set off alarms and alert the residents and
passengers to reach the nearest airlock. The
speakers would be controlled just like PCDs

where sterilization will occur.
3. After sterilization the biological samples would be
tagged and registered in a database.
4.5.1.2- Procedure for hazardous biological samplesHazardous biological samples would then be stored in portable freezers which would store the
samples at around -85oC. It would allow the samples to freeze and become dormant until they reach
the biological labs for further research. These samples would be then stored in modified transportation
vehicles of Intermobile in which the CASSSCs would be replaced as freezers (Refer 3.2.7).
4.5.2- Quarantined area- The quarantined area will
begin just after docking and it will extend till the
biological research labs. This whole path will
comprise of several individual sections separated by
vacuum sealed doors which would allow specific
sections of the passage to be isolated in case of any
hazard. The whole passage would be automated and
no human assistance would be required in any of the
procedures. Entry of researches in the labs would be
done through the spokes of the central cylinder using
modified version of transport vehicle Resitrans.
Fig 4.5.2.1
Made by- Gunek and Sachal(Blender)
4.5.3- Safety of Researchers- To keep deadly samples from escaping, each lab will use negative air
flow and dedicated exhaust systems. Researches would wear full-body air-supplied suits with the help
of robotic hands. Then a sanitization liquid would be sprayed on them. On exit similar procedure
would be followed. They will then sent to a room of UVC lights which would eliminate any further
danger.

CARGO COSTS
LEISURE ACTIVITIES
The cost would be recovered, and the settlement would become profitable in at most 10 years. This
section of the proposal aims to ensure that this revenue increases each year and maintains stable.
7.1 DEPLOYING RESEARCH VEHICLES
Manufacturing areas where vehicles and research
equipment built for operations on the surface and
atmosphere of Venus will be built in a section of
the divided ring (refer 2.5). For the manufacturing
of cables, Bucky Breakthroughs would build
cables with electrical conductivity and Tubular
Technologies will manufacture other types of
cables required, they would be provided areas in the
manufacturing area once the experimentation has
started. Balloons and dirigibles
will be built in the same section,
although there manufacturing
would be internally separated.
Easy access to docking ports from
the manufacturing area will help
in fast suspension and deployment
of vehicles on the Venusian
surface. This docking port along
with along with the cargo docking
port (refer 3.5) would also be used
for bringing back the collected resources from Venus to the settlement.
49
Resources like sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid
will be safely stored in the tank farm section of the
divided ring. These minerals can be easily
exported from the settlement. Some of the exterior
construction bots would be repurposed to create
manufacturing pods which would be able to
develop new processes in the Venusian
environment.
7.2 RESEARCH FACILITIES
Aphroditav has 2 types of laboratories.
One type will be used for biological research, the second will be used for experimentation to identify
and derive new chemistry from Venusian resources, and for developing new ways of acquiring
hydrogen to make water. As hydrogen is combustible, Fire Mitigation techniques (Refer 5.2) will be
used. Tank farms are at a proximity from the research labs, making transportation between them easy
and efficient. Biological research labs would be strictly quarantined from all other activities (refer 4.5
for safeguards). 3D Logistics will be subcontracted to make tools and useful laboratory equipment for
efficient research of the Venusian environment and minerals.
For uninterrupted research, companies will be given separate control centers, which would be well
connected with the tank farms and other areas where raw material is docked, and other tools like exterior
construction bots, fire mitigation bots, repair bots etc., (Refer 5.4). This arrangement also ensures that
Intellectual Property is preserved, and this would also encourage more research and subsequent
development of revenue and entrepreneurship in Aphroditav.
7.3 MANUFATURING FACILITIES FOR VENUSIAN PRODUCTS
Once balloons and dirigibles are amply constructed and assembled, and laboratory research identifies
new materials with marketable qualities, the assembly facilities would be converted into manufacturing
facilities, specially dedicated to processing products obtained from the Venus, at industrial levels. This
section of the tori will become an export hub where high quality products will to other settlements and
traded with subcontractors.
•
•
Nitrogen and breathable air extracted from the atmosphere will be sold to Stuff of Life and also
utilized for local use.
Subcontractors like Remotely Local Products, Bucky Breakthroughs and Carbon Creations
will be sold Carbon extracted from Venus.
Subcontractors like Magnetic Propulsion Companies, 3D Logistics, Dirt Builders, Electro Protect,
Large Print, Hard Roll and Beam builders Ltd will be given their respective tasks and utilized for
managing the manufacturing and assembly facilities as well as for docking, Berthing, and repairing
work.

APPENDIX A: OPERATIONAL SCENARIO
APPENDIX A: OPERATIONAL SCENARIO
The atmosphere was filled with joy in the shuttle. When everybody heard a voice saying, “We are
leaving! Say goodbye to the Earth.” The Holmes family was excited to set up a new home in the
settlement Aphroditav. Mr. Jacob Holmes along with his family consisting of his beautiful wife
Chloe, two children Stephen and Ray and her mother Mrs. Peggy were heading to set up a new life in
a Venus Settlement.
Mr. Jacob worked in the foundation society since the past few years and worked very diligently to
receive the golden opportunity to set up their new Venus Facing home. All his family members were
really excited especially the Gramma Peggy. She thought that her life was going to end on Earth only,
but little did she know that she would be able to witness the beauty of the hottest planet.
As the Holmes family started entering the Space Tug. Stephen exclaimed that he wanted the window
seat. Not to anybody’s surprise the little girl Ray started arguing for the seat too. Seeing this Mr.
Jacob reminded his children about the ease and comfort that Aphroditav provides and took them to a
separate lounge from where everybody in the family could get photo perfect views of the space.
After some time, the children started feeling Earth-sick. Observing the situation, Mrs. Chloe explained
the children that Aphroditav provides every possible facility that you need to feel you are on Earth.
She told the children that at Aphroditav, you have animals, trees, and a whole robotic Ecosystems and
that you can keep robotic Pets also. Hearing this, the children were super excited and wanted to know
that how would they keep in touch with Earth. Mr. Jacob told the children that there will be an
excellent system of Orbit Link communication with the Earth.
Mr. Jacob spotted the curiosity and excitement of the children and started telling them interesting
facts about the settlement. The whole family was having a lot of fun in the journey, when something
was announced, “We have reached the settlement. Welcome to another world.” The children were
having a lot of fun seeing the views and did not want to leave but they did not know that inside the
settlement they would encounter things beyond their expectation.
As the family arrived at the docking ports, Robotic Arms docked them, and they departed. They were
given wrist or ring based PCDs as per choice. They toured the settlement through Resitrans and saw
different places, areas, and recreation activities.
On reaching close to the divided ring, they were amazed to see large tank farms containing numerous
tanks to store the chemicals collected from Venusian surface.
They learned that there were different kinds of labs to research on those chemicals and discover any
new microorganism. They were fascinated by the infrastructure and every operation that was carried
out.
The family was taken to the Central Cylinder from the ports via the vehicle Resitrans. They got out at
the Central Cylinder and made their way to the first residential torus via the Central Cylinder. They
were taken inside the residential areas by Habitrans.
The family stayed for a while inside their houses. They had House Assistant Bots and other various
facilities to make them comfortable to the new Environment. The family was astonished by the luxury
that was provided. They stayed in the house Jupiter Junction which is an elegant residence for large
families upto six people.
The family visited and used facilities like Cafes, Restaurants, Markets etc. They were also given
sports, gymming and exercising facilities. The children were curious to see that which activities were
52
controlled by robots and which by humans. The father told them that most of the activities in the
settlement are automated. These systems include fire emergencies, medical scenario, Safety, Security
Maintenance etc.
All the automated systems will be having three automated backups if the system fails. Then, if the
third automated backup also fails, then the humans would intervene to control the situation.
After an enjoyable Day, the father got a call for work regarding Cargo Docking. The children were
also curious to know about it and then the father told them, the transfer ships that will arrive at
Aphroditav to transport cargo will be met at the docking ports in the storage module or others
depending on the type of cargo it will transport (in transit use/transit use). Robotic arms will align the
ships to its cargo terminus the bots will pack the cargo to CASSSCs and then store them in the port to
be transported in the storage module or toriis.
During the family’s visit, they encountered a lot of enthralling and exciting situations. Mr Jacob
showed photos of the children of the Control Centres. He told them that from the Control Centres they
can get access to all the robots in the settlement.
With this little tour of the settlement, they were excited to start their new life here in the most
beautiful settlement around Venus.
