Energy storage for a lunar base by the reversible chemical reaction: CaO+H2O reversible reaction Ca(OH)2 [PDF]

A thermochemical solar energy storage concept involving the reversible reaction CaO + H2O yields Ca(OH)2 is proposed as a power system element for a lunar base. The operation and components of such a system are described. The CaO/H2O system is capable of

Diatom-driven activation of in-situ lunar resource utilization for space farming

Biogeotechnics
In this study, we demonstrate that diatoms, through their bioweathering process, can enhance the properties of lunar soil, thereby facilitating the cultivation of crops.

Moessbauer Spectroscopy for Lunar Resource Assessment: Measurement of Mineralogy and Soil Maturity [PDF]

First-order assessment of lunar soil as a resource includes measurement of its mineralogy and maturity. Soils in which the mineral ilmenite is present in high concentrations are desirable feedstock for the production of oxygen at a lunar base.

Oxygen from the lunar soil by molten silicate electrolysis [PDF]

Accepting that oxygen, rather than gigantic gems or gold, is likely to make the Moon's Klondike, the extraction of oxygen from the lunar soil by molten silicate electrolysis has chosen to be investigated.

Conceptual design of equipment to excavate and transport regolith from the lunar maria [PDF]

NASA hopes to have a manned lunar outpost completed by 2005. In order to establish the base, regolith must be excavated from the lunar surface. Regolith will be used as a source for life-supporting elements and as radiation shielding for the lunar ...
