Lunar resources and their utilization
Abstract
The paper reviews the physical and chemical characteristics of lunar surface materials noting the thickness of the regolith, grain size distribution, regolith petrography, and the chemical composition of the regolith. A comprehensive design of a processing system for the production of structural metals, oxygen, silicon, glass, and ceramic materials is presented. Specifications regarding the location of the processing plant, and its mass, volume, and power requirements are reviewed.
