Summary

This paper explores the use of lunar regolith as a material for constructing lunar habitats. It discusses the challenges of using regolith for construction, including its physical properties and the need for binding agents. The study also presents a conceptual design for a regolith-based habitat that could support human life on the Moon. The paper discusses the use of lunar regolith simulants as a substitute for green sand in aluminum casting processes. It compares the behavior of regolith simulants with traditional green sand in both sand-casting and permanent mold casting methods. The study highlights the compatibility of regolith simulants with aluminum alloys and evaluates their performance in casting setups. The results suggest that regolith simulants can be a viable alternative to green sand in certain casting applications, with implications for future lunar exploration and industrial processes.
