He stated, “We learned a great deal about the moon, the volcanoes, and cave systems that once had lava on them.”
A three-dimensional prototype of NASA’s RASSOR robot, a digger that excavates and digs soil, was built last year by Lucci’s team.
Students in LCATS learn about sensing capabilities like measuring heat, distance, and light in their first year; furthermore, in the last year, understudies reenact a lunar mission at a nearby cavern. In the past, the students worked in caves at Kickapoo Cavern State Park and the Robber Baron Cave.
During the subsequent year, understudies find out about advanced mechanics, lunar magma tube home difficulties, regolith dangers and current issues NASA is confronting.
“Our understudies gain some significant experience about the lunar magma tubes in this program,” said Bolish. ” They learn not only what it takes to survive and build a home on the moon’s surface, but also how to get there and collaborate with astronauts and scientists to study materials like lunar regolith.
