Through the Artemis Program, NASA hopes to establish a permanent human presence on the Moon in its southern polar region.
A gray powder that looks like ash can become something closer to stone when hit with the right beam of light. Engineers have ...
Researchers 3D print durable structures from lunar regolith using laser deposition, advancing in-situ manufacturing for ...
Scientists have found a way to laser print Moon dust into strong building materials, a breakthrough that could help make future lunar bases.
Simulated lunar dirt can be turned into extremely durable structures, potentially paving the way to more sustainable and cost-effective space missions, a new study suggests. Using a special laser 3D ...
NASA and Ohio State researchers explore laser-based 3D printing of lunar regolith to create durable habitats, tools and structures for long-term Moon missions.
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 t | Space ...
On a dusty test site in Australia, a spider-like robot is quietly rewriting the rules of construction, extruding walls in looping arcs instead of stacking bricks by hand. The same technology that lets ...
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 ...
Mankind has been trying to get back to the moon for decades, and it looks like NASA's Artemis project is on track to send the first crewed mission to the moon in over 50 years by mid-2027. But where ...
