Lunar-Soil Fibers Could Be Used for Future Moon Bases
As countries around the world look toward returning humans to the Moon, Chinese researchers are exploring an unusual building material for future lunar bases: fibers made from lunar soil.
Recently, samples of these lunar-soil fibers were sent to the Chinese space station aboard a Tianzhou cargo spacecraft, where they will undergo exposure tests in the harsh conditions of outer space, including high vacuum, intense radiation and extreme temperature fluctuations.
