Recently, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is exploring the possibility of creating a 3D printed lunar habitat on the moon with NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA) and Russia participating in the race to settle in the only permanent natural satellite on earth . In ancient China, the legend of Chang'e to the moon shows that mankind has long had the idea of boarding the moon, but this idea has only been transformed from a complete science-fiction into a viable one in recent years.This possibility is to a large extent Thanks to new technologies, including 3D printing, these technologies are bringing us closer to building and constructing habitats on the moon's surface, and according to ISRO, it plans to build ice-like buildings on the surface of the moon in the near future Plans to use the 3D printers and robots to build habitats from materials from the moon. So far, the Indian Space Agency has used 3D printing technology to build a lunar habitat model that is being evaluated at its lunar topographic testing facility, and ISRO has allegedly put forward five potential designs for the lunar structure, all of which "We plan to use the moon as an outpost," said Mr. Anadole, director of the ISRO Satellite Center. "Space stations are likely to be lifted in the long run, and many countries, including the United States, are considering moving on the moon Building more permanent buildings When this happens, we want India to make a difference. ' In preparation for construction on the moon, ISRO scientists have also developed materials that are very similar to their lunar soil, and now say about 60 tons of lunar simulations match up to 99.6% of the moon's actual soil, and of course the material will be Establishing a key part of the habitat that will keep astronauts safe when the Moon Settlers is established Researchers at Northwestern University in the United States have demonstrated the ability to create 3D printed structures made from the moon and Mars simulants.In Germany , ESA researchers are using similar techniques to simulating the construction of 3D printed lunar bricks, and in the near future we may actually see humans building settlements on the moon!
