Researchers quantify the ideal in situ construction method for lunar habitats
Thursday, 18 April 2024 18:28 Write a comment
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.

Using various telescopes, scientists, including volunteer citizen scientists worldwide, have mapped over 3,500 cosmic entities within 65 light-years of the Sun through the Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 project.
A recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal details these findings, highlighting that stars outnumber brown dwarfs by four to one in this sector, yet low-mass objects prevail

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.

Did you know the Sun has moss? Due to its resemblance to the earthly plants, scientists have named a small-scale, bright, patchy structure made of plasma in the solar atmosphere "moss." This moss, which was first identified in 1999 by NASA's TRACE mission, blossoms around the center of a sunspot group, where magnetic conditions are strong. It straddles two atmospheric layers known as the chromos
