Chinese lander reveals giant 'cavity' of radiation between Earth and the moon — and it could change how lunar exploration is done

A new study using data from China's Chang'e-4 moon lander found an area of reduced radiation from cosmic rays near the moon. The findings could be used to improve the safety of lunar explorations.

The latest GITAI R1 demonstration is a strong signal of where lunar robotics is heading. The rover successfully unloads a payload, opens a container, and assembles a solar panel mockup in a simulated lunar environment.
Modular, teleoperated, and increasingly autonomous systems like this will shape the next decade of off‑Earth infrastructure.

Harnessing the Sun to Extract Oxygen on the Moon - NASA

The Carbothermal Reduction Demonstration (CaRD) project aims to demonstrate the carbothermal reduction of lunar regolith to produce oxygen on the Lunar South Pole. For this test, the team integrated the solar concentrator, mirrors, and software and confirmed the production of carbon monoxide.
