Topic: Regolith biocomposites for off-world construction
Future Lunar habitats will need thick walls and ceilings to protect inhabitants from cosmic rays, solar winds and meteor strikes. Since it’s not economically feasible to transport bulk construction materials such as concrete from the Earth to the Moon, such materials will need to be produced in situ. In this talk, the notion of regolith biocomposites as a solution to this problem will be presented and discussed.
