Shielded Moon Colony Buried beneath lunar regolith for protection against radiation and constant micrometeoroid impacts, the colony faces a different engineering challenge: heat removal. Energy generated by life support systems, electronics, and habitation cannot dissipate underground, so it’s routed upward and released through large surface radiators — the only viable way to maintain stable operation in the lunar vacuum. #mooncolony #lunarbase #moonbase #spacehabitat | ai.scifi.future

Lunar dust can be a level 10 clinger! During the Apollo Moon missions, astronauts learned firsthand that the fine, powdery dust – known as lunar regolith – is extremely abrasive and clings to everything. During the next delivery for NASA's CLPS initiative, a science instrument called RAC will study how different materials repel or attract lunar regolith to prepare for future #Artemis-era missions.
