NASA is experimenting with a 3D printer that utilisations moon dust to print in space
NASA is experimenting with the printing system from organization Redwire for use in its forthcoming Artemis moon missions, expecting to utilize the moon's dusty soil (technically known as regolith) as raw material for printing. The idea is to utilize promptly accessible materials on the haul lots of heavy equipment right from Earth.
NASA's most recent Northrop Grumman Sygnus resupply mission conveyed a 3D regolith printer to the International Space Station (ISS), as indicated by the agency.
Architects have been thinking about how to 3D print utilizing moon regolith for quite a while and have shown the interaction on Earth. In any case, sending a 3D printer into the microgravity environment of the ISS for testing is a major new advance in preparing the technology to utilize. The analysts ...
