LSU Research Team Exploring the Future of the Extraterrestrial Construction Industry
The LSU research group will work over the next year to determine how construction skills on Earth could and would translate to working on a planetary body other than our own.
As NASA prepares for a late-November launch for the Artemis I Moon Mission, LSU faculty are making preparations of their own to properly train a future-ready construction workforce in extraterrestrial construction.
Led by Amir Jafari, assistant professor, construction management, LSU, the research group will work over the next year to determine how construction skills on Earth could and would translate to working on a planetary body other than our own. The work is funded by a nearly $150,000 grant from the National Science Foundation.
