📝 Abstract
There are renewed efforts to build a lunar base and house a team of astronauts on the Moon for extended periods. However, important challenges remain, such as a rapid-response fire-hazard management system. In the event of a fire or toxic leak inside an early crewed lunar habitat, a single pressurized cylinder must be handled within minutes. However, suited astronauts and radio-delayed support from Earth cannot guarantee such response times. We describe a prototype fire-fighting and emergency response safety technology that embeds intelligence in the habitat itself: using thin ceramic QR codes affixed every few meters, each carries a local floor map, safe sensor limits, and step-by-step hazard responses. A low-power rover decodes a plate in a matter of seconds, polls the adjoining temperature-gas sensor cluster, and acts immediately, eliminating the need for a global map . In a representative layout, the interior is divided into roughly one code per two square meters. Simulations show that rapid-response firefighting both simplifies the task and avoids costly resource use and indeterminate outcomes. Because knowledge is spread across passive plates, damage is localized, procedures can be updated by replacing a single code, and processor demands remain minimal.
