MOON FABRIC it is the "next frontier" for the Americans, and here we are talking about a series of extremely ambitious projects that they are setting up to conquer at least one part of outer space. To achieve this, they must first colonize the MOON, and today we learn that the USA wants to build a nuclear power plant there, and is thinking of doing something similar including on Mars, if you can believe it, even if it has not yet arrived some astronaut for exploration.
MOON FABRIC it is targeted as a location to build a nuclear power plant because astronauts need electricity there, and the US government has asked private companies in the country to come up with ideas for such projects. The USA knows that it needs complex structures on the MOON for its astronauts, and what the government wants is to be able to provide them with everything necessary for research, but also for launching missions to other planets in the solar system.
LUNA: AMAZING Announcement, NOBODY Thought It Would Be Possible
MOON FABRIC they would have built a small nuclear reactor there, enough to support the day-to-day activities of the astronauts, something that is essential for them to carry out their activities. The USA does not want to build a very large nuclear power plant on the MOON, which is perfectly normal, because it is extremely complicated to build such complex structures, which also provide complete safety for the astronauts who will work there.
“The US wants to build nuclear power plants that will work on the moon and Mars, and on Friday put out a request for ideas from the private sector on how to do that. The reactor must be capable of generating at least 10 kilowatts of uninterrupted electricity. In addition, the reactor cannot weigh more than 3.500 kilograms, be able to operate in space, operate largely autonomously and operate for at least 10 years.”
MOON FABRIC it should have all the plans for the location of a nuclear reactor by the year 2026, and it should be able to produce somewhere around 10 kilowatts without interruption. Considering this specification, it is clear that more reactors will be needed to be able to provide the energy that the astronauts would need, so we are more than likely talking about complex structures that should be made there, but this is not something that not to have been expected.
MOON FABRIC is one of the most important environments that NASA has in mind for its future space missions, so it will be very interesting to see how things will unfold in the future.
