NASA is Preparing to Establish a Train Line to the Moon

NASAhas been making preparations to return to the Moon since the era of former US President Donald Trump. This time, astronauts will not only set foot on the Moon, they will also lay the foundations for a base there. Part of these plans includes establishing a railway on the moon of our planet.

speaking on the subject NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Robotics Specialist Ethan Schaler, “We want to establish the first lunar railway system that will provide reliable, autonomous and efficient cargo transportation on the Moon,” he said. “A durable, long-lasting robotic transport system is critical for a sustainable lunar base of the 2030s,” Schaler said. he said.

Moon train will float in the air

In the system to be installed, wagons will use magnetic propulsion on the rail lines and move forward by gliding. The train will only be used by vehicles and for the transportation of vehicles, astronauts will not be able to board this train. FLOAT The robots in this system, called Flexible Levitation on a Track, will have no moving parts and will be enabled to glide to avoid being affected by the dust on the Moon’s surface.

It is also stated that the FLOAT system will operate autonomously on the lunar surface and can be put into operation with minimal preparation. FLOAT rails They will be able to install themselves and protect themselves from other production projects.
