#NASA has awarded Seattle-based #Interlune $6.9 million to develop a payload suite that can cook gases out of #moon dirt and look for traces of potentially valuable #hydrogen and #helium3. The project fits into Interlune's grand plan to sell lunar helium-3 for earthly applications. https://www.geekwire.com/2026/interlune-nasa-contract-extract-helium-3-hydrogen-moon/ #Space #Regolith

#Chickpeas can grow in #moon dirt and make seeds
Scientists had some success growing plants in actual lunar #regolith from Apollo missions. But plants took in toxic metals and grew slowly, showing signs of stress.
Researchers dusted chickpeas — chosen for their hardiness & high protein content — with powdered arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Fungi help plants’ taproots branch out and reach more soil while also sequestering heavy metals away from plant

Röntgenaugen für einen Asteroiden

In vier Jahren wird der Asteroid Apophis der Erde sehr nah kommen. Ein Forschungsteam der Universität Würzburg entwickelt jetzt eine Weltraum-Kamera, die mit einer neuen Technik neue Bilder von ihm liefern soll.

"HIGHLIGHTS:
• [They] mapped channels and fossae within the volcanic plains east of Olympus Mons.
• Late Amazonian channels east of Olympus Mons formed by eruptions of lava or water.
• Fossae morphologies correspond to episodes of magmatic dike and sill emplacement.
• Loading of Olympus Mons may control magmatic ascent processes and eruption types..."

Regolith Desktop 2.0 is Out with Various Changes

A brand new version of the Regolith desktop is now available. Regolith desktop 2.0 aims to meet the needs of those who seek a fast and efficient desktop Linux experience controlled (primarily) from the keyboard. Regolith pairs the i3 tiling window manager with GNOME Flashback, and adds in an assortment of other open-source components to deliver a curated, keyboard-driven UX. And are some big changes since the Regolith 1.6 release from last summer. For one, devs have replaced the rofi “launcher” with a new “desktop executor designed specifically for Regolith” called ilia. This tool is, to be fair, pretty awesome and :sys_more_orange:
