NASA plans to return astronauts to the Moon by 2028, with Swiss technology playing a role in this mission. The Lunar Center in Cologne simulates lunar conditions to test technologies for future missions. Researchers from ETH Zurich tested robots designed for lunar exploration, highlighting challenges such as extreme temperature fluctuations and abrasive moon dust known as regolith. The Swiss company Venturi Space in Payerne has developed flexible wheels for lunar rovers and was selected by NASA through an American partner. Additionally, researchers in Cologne are exploring ways to create building materials directly on the Moon using lunar regolith, aiming to support long-term human presence.
