Although our Moon formed 4.5 billion years ago‚ it’s still evolving. The interior continues to cool and its orbit is slowly changing. As a result‚ the Moon has lost 150 feet of its circumference. That shrinkage contributes to near-constant moonquakes‚ and those trigger landslides and other surface changes. The Moon is currently uninhabited‚ but all that activity threatens future Artemis landing sites and missions at the South Pole. In a recent paper‚ planetary scientists point out that the potential of strong seismic events from active thrust faults should be a top consideration when NASA and other agencies are planning permanent outposts on the Moon. This is particularly true as the Artemis mission planners plot exploration of the South Pole. “Our modeling suggests that shallow moonquakes capable of producing strong ground shaking in the south polar region are possible from slip events on existing faults or the formation of new thrust faults‚” said the study’s lead author Thomas R. Watters‚ a senior scientist emeritus in the National Air and Space Museum’s Center for Earth and Planetary Studies. “The global distribution of young thrust faults‚ their potential to be active‚ and the potential to form new thrust faults from ongoing global contraction should be considered when planning the location and stability of permanent outposts on the Moon.” The Moon is particularly vulnerable to the large-scale effects of moonquakes. That’s because its surface is very brittle and easily broken up during a quake. One of the strongest quakes in lunar history occurred in the 1970s and lasted for hours. Such a lengthy event does quite a bit of damage to the lunar surface. So‚ even a light moonquake could cause significant damage via landslides. Our Shaky‚ Shrinking Moon Moonquakes generally happen within a hundred miles or so of the lunar surface. On Earth‚ that might result in a fairly mild quake. But‚ since the Moon’s surface is so brittle‚ the effects of those “shakes” are much more noticeable. According to Nicholas Schmerr‚ a co-author of the paper and an associate professor of geology at the University of Maryland‚ this means that shallow moonquakes can devastate hypothetical human settlements on the Moon. “You can think of the Moon’s surface as being dry‚ grounded gravel and dust‚” he said. “Over billions of years‚ the surface has been hit by asteroids and comets‚ with the resulting angular fragments constantly getting ejected from the impacts‚” Schmerr explained. “As a result‚ the reworked surface material can be micron-sized to boulder-sized‚ but all very loosely consolidated. Loose sediments make it very possible for shaking and landslides to occur.” An LROC NAC mosaic of the Wiechert cluster of lobate scarps in Moon’s south pole region‚ left pointing arrows). A scarp crosscuts a small (?1 km) degraded crater (right-pointing arrow). Quakes affect every part of the lunar surface. Global compressional stresses deform the surface‚ forcing splits and cracks to occur. These scarps—steep slopes and cliffs—exist everywhere there. In their paper‚ the team suggests that many are close to the epicenters of geologically recent quakes. And the regions where they occurred could still be active today. That includes the lunar South Pole. Risks to Artemis The team led by Watters examined data and images of the lunar South Pole and linked faults there to a major moonquake in the 1970s. The region is filled with scarps‚ which are prime evidence for moonquakes. Although they conclude that some regions in the area are probably safe enough for the Artemis missions‚ others are not. The team’s computer models show that the most dangerous areas are vulnerable to landslides triggered by seismic shaking. They continue to map the Moon and track its quakes to identify the riskiest areas for Artemis astronauts to land. A mosaic of Shackleton Crater at the Moon’s south pole region. It shows a portion of an interior wall and floor‚ with arrows pointing to boulder falls likely created during seismic shaking during a moonquake. Image courtesy: NASA/KARI/ASU That mission could take place by the end of the decade‚ when NASA hopes to establish long-term habitations for research and exploration. Schmerr points out that the risks to safety from even the slightest quakes can’t be overestimated. “As we get closer to the crewed Artemis mission’s launch date‚ it’s important to keep our astronauts‚ our equipment‚ and infrastructure as safe as possible‚” Schmerr said. “This work is helping us prepare for what awaits us on the moon—whether that’s engineering structures that can better withstand lunar seismic activity or protecting people from really dangerous zones.” The Artemis missions essentially mark NASA’s return to human exploration of the Moon. The idea is to collaborate with both commercial partners and international agencies to make this happen. Teams of lunar astronauts will establish an Artemis Base camp‚ and depend on a lunar gateway to connect the mission to Earth. Eventually‚ what they learn there will inform the first human missions to Mars.

We live in an age of renewed space exploration‚ colloquially known as Space Age 2.0. Unlike the previous one‚ this new space age is characterized by inter-agency cooperation and collaboration between space agencies and the commercial space industry (aka. NewSpace). In addition to sending crews back to the Moon and onto Mars‚ a major objective of the current space age is the commercialization of Low Earth Orbit (LEO). That means large constellations of satellites‚ debris mitigation‚ and plenty of commercial space stations. To accommodate this commercial presence in LEO‚ Sierra Space has developed the Large Integrated Flexible Environment (LIFE) habitat‚ an inflatable module that can be integrated into future space stations. As part of the Commercial Low Earth Orbit Development Program‚ NASA‚ Sierra Space‚ and ILC Dover (the Delaware-based engineering manufacturing company) recently conducted a full-scale burst pressure test of their LIFE habitat. The test occurred at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville‚ Alabama‚ and was caught on video (see below). Commercial space has become one of the fastest-growing businesses on Earth. In the past decade‚ the space economy has expanded by over 60% and is currently valued at around $400 billion. This is expected to grow considerably in the coming years as launch services increase‚ small satellites (CubeSats) become more affordable‚ and orbital stations are built. As the International Space Station (ISS) nears retirement‚ these commercial stations will provide opportunities for research and development‚ orbital manufacturing‚ and space tourism. Sierra Space‚ the developer of the Dream Chaser reusable spaceplane‚ has demonstrated its commitment to the commercialization of LEO and the NewSpace economy. The first iteration of their inflatable habitat‚ LIFE 1.0‚ measures 6 meters (~20 feet) long and 9 meters (~30 feet) in diameter and can be launched using conventional rockets and inflates once in orbit. With a volume of 285 cubic meters (over 10‚000 ft3)‚ it can accommodate four astronauts‚ with additional room for science experiments‚ exercise equipment‚ and Sierra Space’s Astro Garden® plant-growing system. The purpose of a burst pressure test is to gauge the structural tolerances of a component‚ be it a fuel tank or an inflatable module. The data gained from this test will assist engineers in simulating how the module will fare in the vacuum of space. Once development and testing are complete‚ the module will be used on commercial space stations like Orbital Reef‚ a collaborative effort between Blue Origin and Sierra Space. Future versions‚ like Life 2.0 and 3.0‚ will offer additional volume and be able to accommodate larger crews and more science operations. According to their National Strategic Plan (released in 2022)‚ one of NASA’s strategic goals is to develop a human spaceflight economy in collaboration with the NewSpace industry. In 2021‚ as part of a Commercial LEO Destinations (CLDs) project‚ NASA Space Act Agreements with three companies to design commercial space stations. This includes the Orbital Reef proposed by Blue Origin and Sierra Space‚ the Starlab space station by Nanoracks LLC‚ Voyager Space‚ Lockheed Martin‚ and Northrop Grumman’s free flyer commercial space station. Starlab‚ from Nanoracks‚ Voyager Space‚ and Lockheed Martin – a continuously crewed‚ free-flying commercial space station in low-Earth Orbit. Credits: NanoRacks/Lockheed Martin/Voyager Space As per NASA’s plan‚ creating a human spaceflight economy will ensure continued research and development in space while “allowing NASA to focus Government resources on the challenges of deep space exploration through Artemis.” Another goal is to maintain the legacy of the ISS long past its retirement: “Since its inception‚ industry‚ academia‚ and our international partners have used the International Space Station (ISS) as a testbed for research and the development and maturation of state-of-the-art systems that increase access to space. NASA is supporting new space stations from which we and other customers can purchase services and stimulate the growth of commercial human spaceflight activities. As commercial LEO destinations become available‚ we intend to implement an orderly transition from current ISS operations to these new commercial destinations.” Further Reading: Sierra Space The post Watch a House-Sized Space Habitat (Intentionally) Burst appeared first on Universe Today.

In the beginning‚ the Universe was so hot and so dense that light could not travel far. Photons were emitted‚ scattered‚ and absorbed as quickly as the photons in the heart of the brightest stars. But in time the cosmos expanded and cooled to the point that it became transparent‚ and the birthglow of the Big Bang could traverse space and time for billions of years. We still see it as the microwave cosmic background. As the Universe expanded it grew dark‚ filled only with warm clouds of hydrogen and helium. In time those clouds collapsed to form the first stars‚ and light again filled the heavens. None of the stars we see today were among those first stars. Modern stars are rich with elements such as carbon and iron. Heavier elements only formed in stellar cores and other astrophysical processes. The first stars we made only of hydrogen and helium. They must have been massive beasts‚ with fleeting lives that ended in brilliant supernova explosions. Only their remnants remain. There have been several deep sky searches for these first stars‚ but we have so far not seen them. There is some indirect evidence of them in the distant Universe‚ but we have not yet seen their light. Now a new study argues that the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope might capture their dying radiance. How a TDE of a first-generation star might be observed. Credit: Chowdhury‚ et al Formally known as the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST)‚ The Roman Space Telescope is scheduled to launch in late 2026. Like the JWST‚ it will observe the cosmos in infrared‚ but Roman will have a wider field of view. This will better enable it to find the highly redshifted light of the first stars. However‚ the authors note that given the short lifespan of these first stars‚ Roman will not likely observe them directly. They instead propose looking for evidence of these stars as they are consumed by a black hole. Specifically‚ the team proposes looking for what are known as Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs). When a star passes near a black hole‚ the gravitational tidal forces of the black hole can rip the star apart. As a result‚ the remnants of the star can be strewn across a large arc. This process takes time and creates a stream of heated gas. The authors modeled the emission spectra of this gas for a first-generation star and found they have a unique signature that lasts for a considerable amount of time. Much of the light from such a TDE would be emitted in the strong ultraviolet‚ but since they would occur at a cosmic redshift of about z = 10‚ the light we see would be shifted to the infrared‚ making it observable by JWST and the Roman Space Telescope. The authors note that the rate at which TDEs occur for first-generation stars depends on several factors‚ but given reasonable estimates Roman could expect to see tens of these TDEs per year. So in a few years‚ we might finally be able to capture the last dying light of the first stars.
