| ID No : | 275 Edit | Title: | Lunar Resource Processing Using Solar Energy - A Research Project Status Report |
| Summary / Review : | This paper covers using the McDonnell Douglas solar concentrator for experiments on simulated lunar soils, in conjunction with the Space Studies Institute (SSI), Alcoa (Aluminum Company of America) and Shimizu Corp. Areas discussed in this paper are melting lunar simulant, postmelt processing, welding, and rock breaking. Applications include a mobile solar concentrator to make a lunar landing pad, roads, and foundations. The applications are actually numerous. There should be other reports dated after this paper, too, as there were unfinished plans at the time of this publication. - MP |
