Moon light: laser sintering of lunar dust
A project investigating the feasibility of carrying out 3D printing of moon-dust on the lunar surface has concluded by successfully testing its prototype laser system on a lunar rover test-bed.
Moonrise, a consortium led by Laser Zentrum Hannover (LZH) together with the Institute of Space Systems (IRAS) of the Technical University of Braunschweig, has spent two years designing a laser platform potentially able to melt lunar regolith into structural forms. The work was funded by the Volkswagen Foundation.
