Researchers have discovered a new way to produce water on the moon, utilizing hydrogen-rich minerals found in lunar soil. This discovery could pave the way for sustainable lunar bases and contribute to cheaper and more frequent space travel.
Results for: Lunar Base
NASA has announced its plans to construct the first lunar railway system, a durable and long-lasting robotic transport system that will be essential for the daily operations of a sustainable lunar base in the 2030s. The system will include FLOAT (Flexible Levitation on a Track), which utilizes unpowered magnetic robots that levitate over a 3-layer flexible film track. FLOAT robots will minimize lunar dust abrasion/wear by levitating over the track, unlike lunar robots equipped with wheels, legs, or tracks.
