First, let's consider the technological challenges. The moon's surface is a harsh environment, with extreme temperatures, no atmosphere, and high levels of radiation. To survive there, we would need advanced life support systems to provide oxygen and regulate temperature. We would also need relia...

Environment Fuel aridity emerges as dominant driver of severity in recent Canadian wildfires A team of forest management specialists affiliated with various institutions across Canada has found that fuel aridity has been the most influential driver of burn severity in wildfires in Canada over the past...
The next steps for the expansion of the human presence in the solar system will be taken on the Moon. However, due to the low lunar gravity, the suspended dust generated when lunar rovers move across the lunar soil is a significant risk for lunar mission
The main reason for the weight reduction is the removal of a robotic arm and its replacement with an instrument developed by Swedish scientists to analyze the radiation environment on the lunar surface, said Jia. Like Yutu, which landed on the moon at the end of 2013, the new rover carries...
(LRA) will use mirrors and lasers to measure very precise distances, and will function as Peregrine's permanent location marker on the lunar surface. The Lunar Energy Transfer Spectrometer (LETS) will measure radiation in the spacecraft's environment, both in lunar orbit and on the moon's ...
While a lunar biorepository may be a promising idea for preserving Earth's biodiversity, there are challenges for this program. Researchers said one of the most difficult problems posed by a lunar biorepository would be the radiation exposure to samples. Countermeasures to radiation could include anti...
where wv is a weight that assesses the importance of variance of the cost in the objective and wp is a cost, in system mass units, which, as discussed, attains values approximately equal to a nominal ESM cost for the segment. Moreover, depending on the nature of the problem, the optimiz...
In-situ utilization of lunar soil resources will effectively improve the self-sufficiency of bioregenerative life support systems for future lunar bases. Therefore, we have explored the microbiological method to transform lunar soil into a substrate for
