LSU Construction Management, NASA Researchers Exploring Use of Lunar Materials for Extraterrestrial Robotic Construction
In order to make this eventual goal a reality, robotic construction technologies will be needed to build a variety of supporting structures, such as habitats, landing pads, and radiation shields.

- “Molten sulfur is the binder and regolith, i.e., Lunar soil, acts as the filler material,” Kazemian said.
- “Robotic construction on the Moon using Lunar resources and large-scale 3D-printing technology is the goal.
- Studying the extrusion parameters and the interplay between material-process-environment factors during high-temperature SRC extrusion will mainly take place at LSU.
