A group of researchers from the Deep Space Exploration Laboratory has created a "machine to make lunar bricks" and build houses on the Moon thanks to the 3D lunar floor printing system in situ, eliminating the need for land-based building materials.This innovation uses concentrated solar energy to melt and mold the lunar floor, and even uses a parabolic reflector to concentrate solar energy, thus, the concentrated energy is transmitted through a…
Lunar soil machine developed to build bricks using sunlight
Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Jul 30, 2025 A Chinese research team has created a prototype machine that transforms moon soil into durable construction bricks using solar energy, marking a critical step toward building lunar structures from local materials. Developed by the Deep Space Exploration Laboratory (DSEL) in Hefei, Anhui province, the system functions as a 3D printing device powered by concentrated solar heat. It employs a
