How can lunar regolith be used to construct future habitats on the Moon? This is what a recent study published in Acta Astronautica hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated novel methods ...
“We talk about having a sustained human presence and a robust lunar economy,” said Corky Clinton, senior adviser at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center Science and Technology Office. Those are the ...
Through the Artemis Program, NASA hopes to establish a permanent human presence on the Moon in its southern polar region. China, Russia, and the European Space Agency (ESA) have similar plans, all of ...
Space pioneers will bring 3D printers with them to make the tools, structures and habitats space pioneers need to survive in a hostile alien environment. JumlongCh JumlongCh/Getty Editor’s note: The ...
A gray powder that looks like ash can become something closer to stone when hit with the right beam of light. Engineers have shown that simulated lunar soil can be melted and layered into solid shapes ...
UTEP has joined a project led by NASA to leverage 3D-printing processes with the aim of manufacturing rechargeable batteries using lunar and Martian regolith, which is the top layer of materials that ...
In just a few days, ORNL researchers used powder bed printing to create this lunar rover wheel based on a NASA design. Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in ...
In the MOONRISE project, researchers are working to transport 3D printing to the Moon. Laser Center Hannover (LZH) has been contracted with US-based tech firm Astrobotic for a special flight to the ...
Why it matters: Two concurrent developments – faster, more agile nuclear construction enabled by 3D printing, and the race to deploy a functional nuclear reactor on the Moon – signal a profound ...
