Moon base 3D printed from lunar soil / Sudo Null IT News It is on such a project that the European Space Agency (ESA) is working in collaboration with renowned architect Norman Foster.
Human colonization of the Moon is no longer a utopian fantasy, but a promising goal. People do not want to build a base on the Moon “for show” - it can bring tangible benefits. The moon also has a variety of minerals, including metals valuable for industry: iron, aluminum, titanium. In the surface layer of soil (regolith), an isotope 9, rare on Earth, has been accumulated0007 helium-3 , which can be used as fuel for advanced thermonuclear reactors. Deep vacuum and the availability of cheap solar energy open new horizons for electronics , foundry , metalworking and materials science . The moon, due to its impressive landscapes and exoticism, would be an attractive object for tourists.
ESA is therefore experimenting with various approaches that could enable construction on our planet's satellite in the future. At this stage, with the help of industrial companies, ESA is developing a project for a 3D lunar base from space soil.
“On Earth, full-fledged structures are already being created using 3D printing. Our fellow industrialists have tried to see if it is possible to build a safe environment for humans on the Moon in a similar way.”Foster + Partners, led by renowned architect Norman Foster, creator of London's famous Gherkin skyscraper and other buildings, has proposed hinged "domes" as a supporting structure. The special structure of their walls will protect the inhabitants from micrometeorites and cosmic radiation. The astronauts will live inside the dome, in an inflatable "cocoon". The hollow structure, reminiscent of the bones of birds, should be a good compromise between strength and lightness. The base model is designed for 3D printing from a one and a half ton bar of lunar soil.
“3D printing could potentially enable the construction of a lunar settlement without massive supplies of materials from Earth.
The new possibilities this idea opens up can be taken into account by the international space agencies in the context of their own lunar exploration projects.”added Scott Hovland, ESA's manned flight manager.
“On Earth, we have already adapted to building in extreme conditions and have learned to take advantage of a particular environment, focusing on local natural materials. We are guided by the same logic in the lunar project”explains Xavier de Questellier of Foster + Partners.
Lunar Base 3D PrinterThe D-Shape printer that prints the base has a 6 meter frame nozzle array that sprays an adhesive solution onto the sand-like building material. 3D prints are made in layers. Monolite is now using it on artificial coral reefs to create protection against the destruction of powerful sea waves.
“We first mixed our model lunar soil with magnesium oxide. This is the “paper” that we can print on. Then we apply our "ink" - a special saline solution that holds the "paper" together into a solid structure.
Right now our printer is printing at about two meters per hour, but the next generation printer will already be able to reach 3.5 meters per hour, so the whole building can be completed in a week.”Enrico Dini, founder of Monolite, explains.
The adaptation of the "terrestrial" printer to space work was carried out by the Italian space company Alta SpA in collaboration with the technical university Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna in Pisa. Particular attention was paid to the peculiarities of working in a vacuum: after all, under these conditions, the liquid will instantly boil.
“To avoid this, we place nozzles under the regolith layer. We have found that 2mm droplets are successfully retained in it by capillary forces, so the printing process can take place in a vacuum.”
, explained Giovanni Cesaretti, Alta employee.
An interesting side result of the work was the discovery of a source of "lunar" soil in Europe. In general, regolith is produced and sold by specialized companies in kilogram quantities, but this project needs tons of it.
The solution was found in the Apennines. The basalt rock of a dormant volcano in central Italy was 99.8% identical to the lunar soil.
The validation of the concept itself has now been completed, further work is still ahead. Other threats must be taken into account: lunar dust dangerous for people to inhale, the temperature features of the Moon. 3D printing works well at room temperature, but due to the absence of an atmosphere on the moon, the difference between night and day temperatures is very large. Only the poles differ in a more “mild” climate.
NASA and AI Space Factory develop 3D printed lunar structure
NASA and AI Space Factory develop 3D printed lunar structure
NASA and AI Space Factory develop LINA (Lunar Infrastructure Asset) , a 3D printed on-site outpost to protect astronauts and critical missions to the Moon.
The project is part of Relevant Environment Additive Construction Technology (REACT), a multi-year collaboration to develop technologies for building the lunar surface as part of the Artemis mission: bringing humanity back to the moon. LINA is a step in an attempt to extend civilization to the Earth's natural satellite and explore it in a sustainable way that minimizes human interference.
LINA expands from a single structure to a group of units, becoming a larger and more systemic lunar outpost. With a footprint of 75 square meters (each unit) and a central training area of 90 square meters, astronauts are expected to be sent to the Moon within the next decade. It is designed to last at least 50 years and will protect astronauts from hazards such as solar particles, moonquakes, impacts and cryogenic conditions that occur during a moonlit night.
The structure is located at the South Pole of the Moon and is described as the "Peak of Eternal Light".
There, the sun is almost omnipresent, perfect for generating solar power, and the permanently shaded low-lying areas are believed to contain water that can support water harvesting operations. The structure includes three separate blocks that share a common courtyard, and integrates a photovoltaic tree to directly capture and collect solar energy. LINA's orientation provides self-shadowing, thereby exploiting the topographical features of the lunar landscape to shield it from lethal solar and cosmic radiation.
The Lunar Infrastructure Asset is designed to be 3D printed using a high-performance blend of natural lunar regolith and a terrestrial-derived polymer. Unlike conventional 3D layers that are parallel to the ground, LINA is 3D printed at a 60 degree angle to build a vaulted roof. The result is a lightweight, optimized ultrathin shell designed to support 2.7 meters of regolith to protect against radiation and extreme lunar conditions.
Thomas Lipscomb, a materials engineer at NASA, is working on a vacuum chamber to test 3D printing inside a vacuum chamber (GMRO) that mimics environmental conditions on the Moon).
The test is part of the Relevant Environment Additive Construction Technology (REACT) project, which builds on NASA's 2020 Announcement of a partnership with AI SpaceFactory, an architectural and building technology company and winner of the NASA 3D Printed Habitat Challenge.
The Lunar Infrastructure represents an unprecedented moment in the renaissance of space exploration. Together with LINA, NASA is working on MARSHA, an innovative 3D printed habitat on Mars in collaboration with AI Space Factory. Using a "Martian polymer", the prototype was one of five finalists in an international competition to design and build a habitat for a crew of four astronauts going to Mars.
Other proposals have come from BIG in partnership with ICON and SEArch+ (Space Exploration Architecture) to support future lunar exploration. Moreover, in 2017 the government of the United Arab Emirates announced the launch of the Mars Science City project, a $140 million (AED 500 million) research city that will serve as a "viable and realistic model" to simulate human occupation of Mars.
