Following landing, Firefly and NASA will hold a press conference to discuss the results and next steps of the mission.
The research team is interested in exploring other forms of recycled materials that can form similar biopastes.
This approach has the potential to reduce carbon emissions and harness heat from geothermal, nuclear and solar radiation plants around the world.
The results of the experiment were achieved using an affordable low-energy laser system, indicating that the technology could be implemented on a wider scale.
Wasted energy from combustion engines can now be harnessed to reduce emissions and improve energy efficiency.
To simulate lunar gravity, the mission's payload capsule rotated at a specific speed during flight.
These tests demonstrate the material's effectiveness in keeping buildings cool even in extreme weather conditions.
The material's properties could improve safety in high radiation exposure environments while promoting volcanic waste management.
Powered solely by sunlight, this technology represents a major advance in the production of fuels and chemicals without additional carbon emissions.
The results of the research could contribute to the design of more durable and resistant materials for other applications, such as space exploration or extraterrestrial infrastructure.
Scientists discovered sodium carbonate with trapped water, a compound never before seen in asteroids or meteorites.
The technology developed has the potential to handle multiple types of materials simultaneously, increasing its versatility and efficiency.
