Scientists Map Moon Regolith to Aid Lunar Bases
A strong foundation is key for any building construction, and this doesnt just apply to construction on Earth. As humanity slowly expands throughout the many worlds of our solar system, and possibly beyond, understanding the planetary surfaces is key to constructing long-lasting habitats beyond Earth. Thus, its only natural this venture begins with our own Moon, which is the target of a permanent lunar south pole base by NASA. While the Moon is covered by a thin layer of dust, also called regolith, its vital for engineers to know the thickness of this regolith to know the safest locations to construct future lunar habitats and buildings.
