How NASA plans to mine the Moon

The European Space Agency launched the Argonaut programme to develop lunar habitats and technologies in 2025 at the Biennale Venezia in Italy.
This initiative builds on the need for long-term moon missions after Apollo, emphasizing habitat design and in-situ resource utilization for sustainability.
Valentina Sumini designed a modular lunar habitat for two astronauts, combining safe living spaces with AI-driven lighting and materials protecting from radiation.
The habitat includes programmable LED panels, laboratories, medical facilities, and uses a Kevlar-mycelium exterior, while AI and virtual reality support operations and mental health.
These efforts suggest future moon stays may last weeks and pave the way for sustainable mining and infrastructure, but exact timelines and deployment remain uncertain.
