The possibility of concrete production on the MoonWhen a long-term lunar base is constructed, most of the materials for the construction will be natural resources on the Moon, mainly for economic reasons. In terms of economy and exploiting natural resources, concrete would be the most suitable material for construction. This paper describes the possibility of concrete production on the Moon. The possible production methods are derived from the results of a series of experiments that were carried out taking two main environmental features, low gravity acceleration and vacuum, into consideration.
