The paper investigates the feasibility of using lunar regolith as a construction material for future lunar bases. It presents a comprehensive analysis of the physical and chemical properties of lunar soil, including its composition, porosity, and mechanical strength. The study also explores various methods of processing regolith into usable building materials, such as sintering, 3D printing, and cement-based composites. The authors emphasize the importance of understanding the behavior of regolith under different environmental conditions, such as temperature fluctuations and radiation exposure. The paper concludes that while there are significant challenges in utilizing lunar regolith for construction, ongoing research and technological advancements are making this goal increasingly viable.
