Nutritional requirements are met by a variety of familiar-appearing foodstuffs produced biochemically on Alpha.

Water is obtained from ice deposits under the lunar surface, recycled and purified.

Earth-normal artificial gravity is generated by eight towers surrounding the complex. Power is generated by four nuclear reactors and the accumulation of solar energy. Moonbase Alpha is totally self-sustaining. Though operational and occupied for years, final completion of the Alpha construction project occurred in 1997. Construction commenced afterwards under the auspices of the new World Space Commission. Construction began on 3 February 1983, but was briefly halted during the 1987 world war. Originally, the base was designed to serve as both Earth's primary space research and exploration centre and a monitoring station coordinating the nuclear waste disposal areas on the Moon's far side. Apart from the central tower, the surface buildings are two to three stories in height.

The complex extends outward from the central Main Mission tower in a series of concentrically-arranged curved structures connected by travel-tube transit tunnels. Located in the Moon crater Plato and constructed out of quarried rock and ores, Moonbase Alpha is four kilometres in diameter and extends up to one kilometre in areas below the lunar surface.
