NASAhas been preparing for a return to the moon since the time of former US President Donald Trump. This time astronauts not only set foot on the moon, but also lay the foundation for a base there. Part of these plans includes building a railway on our planet’s moon.

speak about the subject NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Robotics Specialist Ethan Schaler, “We want to establish the first lunar railway system that will provide reliable, autonomous and efficient cargo transportation on the moon,” he said. “A sustainable robotic transport system is critical for a sustainable lunar base in the 2030s,” Schaler said. he said.

The moon train will float in the sky

In the system to be installed, wagons will use magnetic propulsion on the railway lines and move by sliding. The train will only be used by vehicles and to transport vehicles, astronauts cannot board this train. RAPID The robots in this system, called Flexible Levitation on a Track, will have no moving parts and will be able to glide to avoid being affected by the dust on the moon’s surface.

It is also stated that the FLOAT system will operate autonomously on the lunar surface and can be put into use with minimal preparation. FLOATING rails They will be able to install themselves and protect themselves from other production projects.
