Scientific paper
Research was conducted to verify what construction materials can be produced on the lunar or Mars surface. Soil simulation of lunar or Mars surfaces is produced, and heating and melting experiments by microwave are conducted. Experiment equipment consisting of a microwave generator, power monitor, crucibles, and thermometer are outlined. Experiment parameters, measured temperatures, and melting and radiation energy obtained by calculations are presented. Block production experiments by cold pressing are also conducted. Experiment equipment, material composition conditions, and the results of experiments are outlined. Block production using microwave heating is compared with other production techniques. The possibility of producing construction materials from soils on lunar or Mars surfaces was verified, and it was suggested that they can be used for constructing structures on lunar or Mars surfaces.
