Lunar in Space Resource Utilisation

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper describes about various aspects of attaining a highly sustainable lunar colony. In space resource utilisation experiments and processing gives mineral beneficiaries .Application of emerging technologies will offer more scope for processing and manufacturing operations for instance laser technology which has found many applications on the moon. These technologies offer a clear road map to lunar colony and future lunar generation. Oxygen production, setting up fuel station, generating power and electricity are some of the tasks which can be achieved with the help of these emerging technologies.
