Abstract

Fifty years after the first human step on the Moon, many challenges for its exploration have yet to be overcome. Among them, the survival of the crew and/or lunar assets during the lunar night is mandatory for long duration missions. The environmental conditions of the lunar surface and its day-night cycle, with long periods of darkness, make the provision of energy a critical challenge. Several approaches have recently been considered to store and provide energy in the surface of the Moon by means of ISRU (In-Situ Resource Utilisation)
