  1. 1. A Concept Design to Enable Lunar Mining

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för maskinteknik

    Författare :Filip Svensson; Kian Persson; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Lunar Mining; Swarm Robotics; Lunar rover;

    Sammanfattning : The space industry has been accelerating technological evolution since its inception. It has resulted in countless innovations being adapted and eventually finding their way into people's everyday life. It has also played a significant role in understanding life itself and the circumstances that are necessary to support it. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Technologies for production and utilisation of space resources are still in the early phases of development. Oxygen in particular is an interesting resource for both life-support and as propellant, and can be widely found on the lunar surface embedded in metallic oxides in the lunar soil. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Additive manufacturing of lunar regolith simulant using direct ink writing

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad materialvetenskap

    Författare :Billy Grundström; [2020]
    Nyckelord :3D printing; additive manufacturing; lunar regolith simulant; european space agency; ESA; in situ resource utilisation; ISRU; direct ink writing; sintering;

    Sammanfattning : In this work, the use of a lunar regolith simulant as feedstock for the direct ink writing additive manufacturing process is explored, the purpose of which is to enable future lunar in-situ resource utilisation. The feasibility of this approach is demonstrated in a laboratory setting by manufacturing objects with different geometries using methyl cellulose or sodium alginate as binding agents and water as liquid phase together with the lunar regolith simulant EAC-1A to create a viscous, printable ‘ink’ that is used in combination with a custom three-axis gantry system to produce green bodies for subsequent sintering.

  5. 4. Framtida användningsområden för materialadderande tillverkning : En studie i hur materialadderande tillverkning kan användas i rymden

    Kandidat-uppsats, KTH/Industriell produktion

    Författare :Leo Ullemar Loenbom; Tobias Rogefelt; [2013]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : In this paper we have studied possible future uses for Additive Manufacturing (commonly referred to as 3D-printing) in Space. More specifically we have sought to establish how Additive Manufacturing can be used to construct structures on the Moon. LÄS MER
