- Led by LSU Construction Management Assistant Professor Amir Jafari, the research group will work over the next year to determine how construction skills on Earth could and would translate to working on a planetary body other than our own.
- The vision of becoming an interplanetary species requires the construction industry to face an unprecedented challenge, extraterrestrial construction.
- Accordingly, the role of construction workers in future extraterrestrial projects will be significantly different from the current practice on Earth.
- The LSU research team will first workwith the help of its collaborators at NASAto gain a better understanding of what transferable skills are needed for a future extraterrestrial workforce.
