Status: Active
Start Date: 2023-08-01
End Date: 2026-03-31
Description:
The company will develop a grader, compactor, and microwave emitter into a scalable platform that removes rocks, compacts loose regolith, and melts or sinters regolith into a solid surface. This technology could enable dust mitigation areas, habitat foundations, roads, and landing pads.
Benefits:
- Provides a cost-effective, sustainable method to manufacture reusable landing pads for a robust lunar economy
- Develops novel sintering technology to sustain landing pads and infrastructure
- Reduces operational risk for NASA and lunar service providers
