Advisory – Planned Maintenance: On Monday, July 15 at 9 PM Eastern the STI Compliance and Distribution Services will be performing planned maintenance on the STI Repository (NTRS) for approximately one hour. During this time users will not be able to access the STI Repository (NTRS).
(MMPACT) project seeks to research, develop, and demonstrate lunar surface
construction capabilities.
- Quantification of lunar regolith’s geotechnical properties allows for effective
prediction of forces and displacement during excavation and construction and is
critical to facilitating regolith sintering capabilities all of which benefit lunar
infrastructure plans.
- Knowledge of shear strength, Mohr-Coulomb cohesion, angle of internal
friction, bearing strength, bulk density, etc. is needed.
- The use of ground-based testing of various lunar simulants with relevant
hardware (e.g., robotic arm tools) enables validation of technology choices, tool
paths, and lunar surface construction activities.
- In addition, the use of Taguchi methods [1] will minimize the number of needed
experiments to explore critical input parameters.
- The Jet Propulsion Lab is preparing to fly the COLDarm payload on a CLPS
lunar mission with a geotechnical measurement scoop
