Chinese Researchers Develop Lunar Bricks for Moon Bases, Testing on Tianzhou-8
Oct 20, 2024, 01:43 PM
Chinese researchers have developed bricks from a material that has a similar composition to lunar soil, with the aim of using them for future lunar base construction. These 'lunar bricks' can be assembled into various structures, much like Lego pieces, allowing for creative construction on the moon. The bricks need to undergo performance testing to determine whether they can withstand the high frequency of lunar quakes. Additionally, these bricks are scheduled to be sent to China's space station for exposure experiments aboard the Tianzhou-8 cargo spacecraft, with the first brick anticipated to return to Earth by the end of the year.
