Researchers quantify the ideal in situ construction method for lunar habitats
Thursday, 18 April 2024 18:28
As the lunar exploration mission evolves from exploration to construction and utilization, in situ lunar construction becomes an imperative requirement. The key is regolith solidification and formation, aiming to maximize local resource utilization while minimizing transportation and maintenance costs.
Nearly 20 techniques have been employed for preparing regolith-based construction materials, each with distinct requirements and capabilities. Professor Feng from Tsinghua University has conducted a comprehensive review, precise classification, and quantitative evaluation of regolith solidification and formation techniques, shedding light on key challenges and future development directions.
Census of cosmic neighbors reveals new insights with help from citizen scientists

The European Space Agency's Lunar I-Hab initiative has achieved a significant milestone at the Thales Alenia Space facility in Turin with the completion of the Acceptance Review of the mockup, delivered by Liquifer Space Systems. This event underscores the advancement toward a sustained human presence in lunar orbit.
The mockup, a full-scale version of the intended flight module, includes NASA gears up for another Mars simulation mission
Thursday, 18 April 2024 17:44
In an effort to further humanity's journey to Mars, NASA has carefully selected a diverse group of four volunteers to undergo an intensive 45-day simulated mission to the Red Planet. This simulation will take place at the Johnson Space Center's Human Exploration Research Analog (HERA), a facility meticulously designed to mimic the conditions of space travel and planetary exploration.
