Competition Process

Develop your own regolith concrete mixture and design your lunar habitat! The lunar surface is covered with a fine-grained rocky material called regolith. We can use this material to help build the infrastructure needed for future missions. This process is called In Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU). In this challenge, you will get hands-on with a lunar regolith simulant engineered in the lab to mimic the properties of regolith found on the Moon. A Program Guide walks you through a series of activities to learn about the properties of lunar regolith, use it to develop a concrete mixture, test your concrete's strength, and use what you have learned to design a lunar habitat for future long-duration missions to the surface of the Moon!
