Trade study of first printed product #62

Closed Suzibianco closed 5 years ago

Suzibianco commented 6 years ago

Conduct a trade study of what our first printed product should be: -a monolithic structure, on a smaller scale? -a unit block, on a smaller scale? -a landing pad? -a tool/spare part?

Consider the potential of each option in relation to the rest of the mission, ie: -Will it allow us to develop that same technology further until we are able to build a habitat? -Can it be used for different purposes or in different ways? -Does the printed object directly help the development of a future moon settlement?

Consider the following: -Look at research at USC did for lunar ISRU -What are the upcoming moon bases and how many of them have thought about landing pads? Is landing pad a must have? To protect against dust or for accurate position determination or? How about one time landers?
