Mining in space: How Colorado students and engineers are helping NASA plan for lunar colonization

Payne Institute Faculty Fellow George Sowers contributed to this article about how students at the Colorado School of Mines have partnered with Lunar Outpost, a space exploration company based in Arvada, to tackle NASA’s challenge. Their team of people have designed and are now testing robot rovers near Watkins, Colorado, to see if they can drill concrete (a stand-in fort ice) and haul pieces to an outpost.  September 11, 2023.
