We are honored to begin our research and development on ICON\u2019s \u2018Project Olympus\u2019 and the \u2018Olympus Construction System.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>NASA has signaled that, through the Artemis program, the Moon will be the first off-Earth site for sustainable surface exploration. Building a sustainable presence on the Moon requires more than rockets. For a permanent lunar presence to exist, robust structures will need to be built on the Moon that provide better thermal, radiation, and micrometeorite protection than metal or inflatable habitats can provide. From landing pads to habitats, these collective efforts are driven by the need to make humanity a spacefaring civilization.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_121543\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-121543\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Opener2-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-121543\" src=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Opener2-2-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"ICON will test lunar soil simulant with various processing and printing technologies to help design, develop, and demonstrate prototype elements for a possible future full-scale additive construction system that could print infrastructure on the Moon.\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Opener2-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Opener2-2-500x282.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Opener2-2.jpg 650w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-121543\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">ICON will test lunar soil simulant with various processing and printing technologies to help design, develop, and demonstrate prototype elements for a possible future full-scale additive construction system that could print infrastructure on the Moon.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Known for its advanced 3D printing technology for homebuilding on Earth, ICON has been awarded a SBIR Strategic Fund Increase (STRATFI) contract through the AFVentures managed \u2018Open Topic\u2019 process to advance the development of its 3D printing technology, advanced materials, and software. The SBIR is a competitive program that encourages domestic small businesses to engage in federal research\/research and development (R\/R&amp;D) that has the potential for commercialization. Through the support from NASA under the Air Force SBIR, ICON will continue to mature off-Earth applications for potential use for sustainable lunar missions and develop technology with shared agency benefits for Earth and space.<\/p>\n<p>In partnership with NASA\u2019s Marshall Space Flight Center in\u00a0Huntsville, Alabama, ICON will test lunar soil simulant with various processing and printing technologies. The tests will help design, develop, and demonstrate prototype elements for a possible future full-scale additive construction system that could print infrastructure on the Moon. The new partnership builds on technology ICON demonstrated during NASA\u2019s 3D Printed Habitat Challenge in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>ICON has engaged <a href=\"https:\/\/big.dk\/#projects\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bjarke Ingels Group<\/a> (BIG) and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spacexarch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Space Exploration Architecture<\/a> (SEArch+) as partners for the project. SEArch+ has over a decade-long association with NASA\u2019s Johnson Space Center Human Habitability Division, Langley Research Center, Ames Research Center, and leading aerospace corporations, and BIG has worked on multiple concepts for the Moon and Mars in the past several years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo explain the power of architecture, \u2018formgiving\u2019 is the Danish word for design, which literally means to give form to that which has not yet been given form. This becomes fundamentally clear when we venture beyond Earth and begin to imagine how we are going to build and live on entirely new worlds,\u201d said Bjarke Ingels, BIG founder. \u201cWith ICON we are pioneering new frontiers\u2014both materially, technologically, and environmentally. The answers to our challenges on Earth very well might be found on the Moon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled to support Project Olympus and come one step closer towards becoming an interplanetary species,\u201d said SEArch+ co-founders. \u201c3D printing with indigenous materials is a sustainable and versatile solution to off-world construction that will prove to be vital to our future here on Earth and in outer space.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ICON, developer of construction technologies such as robotics, software, and building materials, was awarded a government Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract including funding from NASA to begin research and development of a space-based construction system that could support future exploration of the Moon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13542,"featured_media":121541,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1029],"tags":[1177,4741,1337,6051,6052,5285],"class_list":["post-121540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-3d","tag-big","tag-construction","tag-icon","tag-moon","tag-nasa","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>BIG &amp;
