99% savings: Radiation-proof solar cells made from moon dust to power lunar basesThe researcher aims to replace Earth-made glass used in solar panels with 'moon glass,' or glass derived from lunar regolith.
which aims to set up one or more lunar bases in the next decade or so. But regolith presents a significant issue for lunar hardware, spacesuits and human lungs, because the dust is so abrasive.
China is moving ahead with its goal of a manned lunar landing before the end of the decade while planning new missions to its Tiangong space station this year.
Planetary scientists speculated that such pits could be an opening into a lava tube — a hollow underground channel where lava once flowed, and where astronauts could someday build a moon base.
