🌕 What if we could strengthen the Moon’s underground infrastructure using its own water ice? Introducing Lunar Cryogenic Excavation Reinforcement (LCER) Selective Ice–Regolith Stabilization for Lunar Utility Conduits, Shafts, and Subsurface Tunnels. LCER explores using controlled ice bonding to reinforce lunar regolith around buried infrastructure — from power and communications conduits to future underground access shafts and habitat tunnels. The vision: transforming loose lunar ground into a more stable construction material using locally sourced resources. A conceptual engineering proposal exploring the possibilities, challenges, and preliminary feasibility of cryogenic lunar construction. 📄 Now published on Zenodo Citation: Jaggard, S. (2026).
