A railway on the Moon
A project that foresees the construction of railways on the moon until 2030 has moved to the second phase of the program of advanced innovative concepts, NASA's NIAC called Float, this proposal for the construction of a railway system on the moon is fascinating and if materializes promises to revolutionize the way we deal with transportation, logistics in extraterrestrial environments.
The installation of the track would be simplified, it would only need to be deployed above the ground with the possibility of picking it up and changing the transport location, during phase two of the project the team plans to focus on eliminating the risks associated with manufacturing, deployment and long-term operation. term of these full-scale robots, which is crucial to ensure the system can operate effectively in the lunar environment.
Imagine a train on the Moon, if successful the Float will not only facilitate the transport of regolith and other payloads, but will also serve as a technological platform that can be adapted for other applications in future lunar missions and potentially on other celestial bodies; The ability to reconfigure and expand the runway network over time offers considerable flexibility to meet the evolving needs of lunar bases making this project a vital component for sustainable lunar exploration.
