C
Conveying Systems: Systems that transport regolith from one point to another (e.g., screw conveyors, pneumatic transport).
D
Dust Control: Managing dust generated during regolith handling to protect equipment and environment.
E
Excavation: The process of digging or removing regolith from the surface.
H
Handling Systems: Systems used for processing, analyzing, and storing regolith.
Habitat Construction: Building living spaces on the Moon or Mars, often using regolith-based materials.
I
ISRU (In-Situ Resource Utilization): The process of extracting and using local resources (e.g., regolith) directly on-site in space missions.
M
Modular Architecture: Flexible and scalable system design allowing addition or removal of modules.
Modular Units: Small functional units that operate independently or integrate into larger systems.
O
Oxygen Extraction: The process of extracting oxygen from regolith for life support and fuel.
P
Preheating: Heating regolith before processing to improve chemical reaction efficiency.
R
Regolith: Loose soil and rock material found on the surface of the Moon, Mars, or asteroids, used as raw material.
Regolith Conditioning: Preparing regolith for processing by adjusting temperature, moisture, or composition.
Regolith Pipeline: A pipeline system designed to transport regolith to processing facilities.
Rover: Robotic vehicles designed to collect and transport regolith on planetary surfaces.
S
Sieving: The process of separating regolith based on particle size.
Stockpiling: The accumulation or storage of regolith in designated areas.
T
Thermal Energy Storage: Storage of heat energy using regolith, important for supplying energy during lunar nights.
