NGI Develops Lunar Cone Penetration Test Chamber for ESA

Our team has designed a state-of-the-art cone penetration calibration chamber capable of replicating lunar environmental conditions.

In this video, you'll learn about

• The challenges of understanding soil mechanics on the Moon.
• How this technology will help in characterizing lunar regolith and calibrating future tools.
• The importance of this research for future lunar missions and in-situ resource utilization (ISRU).

This project is sponsored by the European Space Agency (ESA) and represents a step forward in preparing for humanity's return to the Moon and eventual infrastructure creation.
