Sustainable Exploration : A New Paradigm

This time, when we go to the Moon, we’re going to stay. How can we create a sustainable human presence on another planetary body? How would future lunar explorers gain access to enough life-sustaining resources like oxygen, water and fuel? In this presentation from our 2019 Evening with the Stars event, NASA engineer Diane Linne explains our plans to gather and cultivate the necessary resources for astronauts on the lunar surface, and the methods and technologies we’re developing to enable this capability.
