3 May 2017 – Project RegoLight is featured on the esa website with the article titled: Printing Bricks from Moondust using the Sun’s Heat
“Bricks have been 3D printed out of simulated moondust using concentrated sunlight – proving in principle that future lunar colonists could one day use the same approach to build settlements on the Moon….
…Following this ESA General Support Technology Programme study, the follow-up RegoLight project is being backed through the EU’s Horizon 2020 programme.
Advenit adds: “Our demonstration took place in standard atmospheric conditions, but RegoLight will probe the printing of bricks in representative lunar conditions: vacuum and high-temperature extremes….”
