NASA chooses San Antonio company to assist lunar landing

NASA chooses a San Antonio company to assist in creating a lunar landing pad using moon dust.

NASA wants to deploy a person to Mars by the late 2030s. However, it must first build a stopover lunar base. And in order to build a lunar outpost, it needs a landing pad. NASA chooses San Antonio company to assist lunar landing.

It recently won a second NASA small business award for its work with UTSA on a project to develop robots that can build a landing pad on the moon. According to Ximenes, the technology is available. Star Trek is no longer present. This story is true. That’s accurate.

After receiving its first NASA contract last year, Astroport was able to build a furnace that could liquefy lunar dust and transform it into Lego-like bricks. A similar problem that is being addressed under the most recent contract is how to feed the furnace.

The first objective is to build a landing pad, even if the bricks produced might be used for a variety of base-building chores. It is necessary. The dirt surrounding a spacecraft’s landing or launch site on the moon is blasted into the air in a manner akin to how a landing helicopter blows grass, but at a far higher rate.

The energy is so strong, in accordance with Ximenes, that the dust enters orbit and forms a cloud around the moon.

UTSA is a research partner on the project. According to Awolusi, there is “great potential… toward achieving space sustainability” as a result of the collaborative research into making construction materials from moon dust.

Adelaide University in Australia, which has a lunar simulation facility and a center for space research, will also provide knowledge. The aerospace business Venturi Astrolab in California will provide instructions on how to attach the equipment to a robotic rover.

According to Ximenes, advances made by for-profit businesses like Space X have lowered the cost of orbit-to-orbit travel, which has led to a current upswing in space study and exploration. The lunar surface is the following step on the way to the ultimate goal of getting to Mars.
