Abstract:
The lunar soil in-situ forming technology, as an important part of the lunar resource in-situ utilization technological system, is essential to produce the building material and infrastructures on the lunar surface. Based on the development at home and abroad, five kinds of lunar soil forming techniques are discussed according to the tasks of lunar soil forming. The matching between the performance of the formed body and the task requirements, the constraints of cost and energy consumption, the environmental adaptability, and the feasibility of the forming process are analyzed in detail. Suggestions are made for the in-situ forming, which may be taken as a reference for the future lunar resource exploration and development.
