Stockpiling and Storage Module

The Stockpiling and Storage Module enables controlled regolith storage while minimizing dust dispersion—a critical factor in lunar operations. Using a flexible, retractable bellow system, it forms uniform regolith piles while sealing off dust emissions during discharge. Beyond simple storage, when used alongside the Preheating Module, the Stockpiling Module can create thermal regolith piles capable of retaining heat. This functionality transforms it into an effective, passive thermal energy storage system for lunar night survival, offering a simple yet powerful solution for maintaining operational capability during extended periods without sunlight.

  • Flexible, retractable bellows create controlled stockpiles.

  • Enables thermal energy storage when combined with heated regolith.
