This review discusses the development prospects of additive technologies for the
manufacturing of complex technological items on the surface of the Moon under scarce …

In-situ resource utilization on the Moon and/or Mars is a cutting-edge hotspot for exploring
outer space. Lunar/Martian regolith is an in-situ natural resource for construction habitats …

Recently, demands for space habitats have increased significantly with the growth of space
applications for micro-gravity investigation and space travel. Therefore, there is an urgent …

The next step for the exploration of space seems to require the human participation by
means of a long-lasting lunar outpost. Therefore, this paper attempts to review the up-to-date …

The design of a permanent human habitat on a planetary body other than the Earth is an
idea introduced many decades ago, which became even more significant after the landing of …

Almost 50 years after astronauts last walked on the lunar surface during the Apollo program,
NASA is now launching the Artemis program which will lead humanity forward to the Moon …

With the growing interest in lunar exploration around the world, the construction of lunar
base has naturally become a focus for researchers seeking sustainable exploration. The …

There is growing momentum, as articulated through the visions of space agencies, to
establish permanent settlements on planetary bodies such as the moon and Mars. One key …

In the Part 1 of two companion papers, a deployable composite cabin (DCC) for space
habitats was introduced and its folding behaviour was comprehensively studied. This Part 2 …

Due to the extreme cost of cargo transportation from Earth to the lunar surface, future lunar
base subsystems are required to be rigorously optimized in terms of mass reduction. The …
