Lunar In-Situ Resource Utilization: Regolith Bags Automated Filling Technology

Earth and Space 2014

“…Suggested binding methods have included molten sulfur , self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) based on magnesium or aluminum (Faierson et al, 2010;White et al, 2011), and conventional bags to hold the regolith in various shapes (Ruess et al, 2008). Reported strength, energy requirements, and mass requirements for each of these stabilization techniques, including RBC, are summarized in Table 2.…”
