On Aug. 17, 2023, Sierra Space, in collaboration with ILC Dover and NASA subject-matter experts, conducted an Ultimate Burst Pressure (UBP) test on a one-third-scale version of the inflatable Sierra Space LIFE habitat. This test article included a blanking plate – a metallic structure inserted into the softgoods shell to emulate a future design component, such as a window, robotic arm or antenna attachment point. For this burst test, a steel blanking plate was used as a stand-in for a future window. Courtesy Sierra Space.

At the Moon’s poles and with the Sun at such a low angle, sunlight never reaches the floors of some deep craters. These PSRs are some of the coldest spots in the solar system, trapping volatile chemicals including water ice. New research indicates these regions are not as old as originally thought, so current estimates of water ice on the Moon may be too high.
