When spacecraft land on the moon, their engines unleash huge clouds of dust and debris that can damage expensive equipment ...

Soil excavated from the moon could be used to produce oxygen and methane, which could be used by lunar settlers for breathing ...

This builds on research from 2020, where IISC scientists created 'space bricks' using a calcium-based lunar soil simulant, urea, the aforementioned S. pasteurii, and guar beans.

The lunar surface is abundant in fine soil, called regolith, which can be used as raw construction material. Kumar and his team collaborated with scientists at ISRO who had developed a lunar soil ...
