This federal contract award, valued at $87,471.61, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) to develop an effective method for joining regolith tiles into landing/launching pads on the lunar or Martian surface. The project aims to investigate combustion joining of regolith tiles made from lunar and Martian simulants, which would minimize the amount of material that needs to be transported from Earth and the energy required for the joining process. The results will provide data on optimal compositions and amounts of exothermic mixtures for this in-situ fabrication approach. UTEP, a Hispanic-serving institution, has extensive expertise in areas relevant to this contract, including materials science, advanced manufacturing, and space technologies. The University of Texas System, UTEP's parent organization, also frequently partners with federal agencies on research and development contracts and grants.
