LSO LUNAR SHIPYARD
Research into whether low lunar gravity and locally sourced materials could eventually support spacecraft manufacturing.
The study asks a narrow question: under what conditions would surface manufacturing beat delivering finished hardware from Earth?
Possible elements include industrial complexes, manufacturing halls, surface cargo systems, automated mining equipment, large assembly areas, launch infrastructure, underground logistics, power infrastructure and spacecraft construction docks.
