One of the crew members involved in the series of space construction experiments, NASA Flight Engineer Matthew Dominick, is exploring how microgravity could affect the production of cement materials, which could be used to build infrastructure on the surface of the moon.
In his experiment, Dominick attempted to simulate soil that would be found on the moon, which would then be used in cement production. After weeks of sitting at ambient temperature aboard the International Space Station, the concrete samples will then be returned to Earth aboard a SpaceX Dragon cargo craft to be analyzed by researchers.
