In a breakthrough project from Spaceship EAC, Sarah Eriksson's study into recreating Moon dust is enhancing our understanding of how materials from the lunar surface could be transformed into building blocks for the next extra-terrestrial base.

This project is one of several student-led projects as part of ESA’s Spaceship EAC initiative. Established in 2012, Spaceship EAC investigates technologies and concepts in support of ESA’s exploration strategy.
