The company is also looking to be the first private space firm to send a spacecraft to another planet later this year when it sends a self-funded mission to search for alien life in the clouds of Venus3D-printed batteries for lunar habitatsThe new effort is a big step toward utilizing 3D printing technology on the moon for NASA’s upcoming Artemis missions.

“This project with NASA is an opportunity to demonstrate UTEPs expertise in both energy storage and 3D printing.It could also be used for building habitats and modules that could withstand harsh space conditions.A team of researchers at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) and Youngstown State University (YSU) are collaborating to develop 3D-printed batteries for future lunar astronauts.

professor of aerospace and mechanical engineering and associate dean in the UTEP College of Engineering.Sodium-ion batteries will power lunar explorationNASA has also partnered with Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin to deploy a method that can 3D print solar panels on the moon.

5 million project aimed at creating a new method that will allow astronauts to develop batteries from their lunar bases.

and our state-of-the-art facilities were important factors in convincing our NASA partners to pursue this potentially transformative research – for space exploration but for terrestrial applications of batteries as well.Actually placing these things in their lived context charges philosophy in a way that simply discussing them abstractly does not.
