Funded Activity Summary
Space Resources Environmental Analogue Facility. The Space Resources Environmental Analogue Facility aims to allow researchers to test equipment in realistic Moon/ Mars/ asteroid conditions. It will allow the development of space robotics and techniques to process space rocks. A dirty thermal vacuum chamber replicates temperatures and pressures on deep space objects, while not having the ultra-clean requirement of a more usual spacecraft facility. Moon/ Mars/ asteroid yards simulate the surfaces of those objects. Technologies proven in the new facilities will be qualified to operate on the moon, for example, enabling participation in the space agency’s Moon to Mars program.Funded Activity Details
