Strategic Objectives
• Master the science of transforming regolith into solid structural elements.
• Understand the mechanics of solar and laser-based sintering in low-gravity.
• Discover how to implement 3D-printing at scale on extraterrestrial surfaces.
• Learn to design infrastructure that survives extreme thermal and atmospheric shifts.
The Core Challenge
The exorbitant cost of transporting materials into space makes traditional construction impossible for long-term lunar or Martian habitation.
