What is regOne?

A modular high volume transport system for lunar Regolith.
What is lunar Regolith?

Regolith is a collective term for the upper layer of a stony soil. Such layers exist on earth as well as on other planets of our solar system like the moon.
Why is there a need for a regolith transport system on the moon?

To enable ISRU a constant and homogeneous stream of material is necessary. ISRU (in situ resource utilization) is the use of extraterrestrial resources on site. This technic is the first step for an independent and affordable extraterrestrial outpost. Such outpost could serve as a lab, training ground and interstellar hub for further exploration of the solar system.
What can be made out of lunar regolith?

As lunar regolith contains Oxygen (O), Iron (Fe), Silizium (Si), Aluminium (Al), Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg) and others it can be used for the following: Rocket-fuel-production, solar-sintering and 3D-printing.
Can the system regONE fly?

No. The system is stationary.
What is the theoretical foundation of MoonAixperts work?

We acknowledge that both underlying concepts (vertical [1] and horizontal [2]) are based on peer-reviewed papers by Hioyuki Kawamoto from Waseda University (kawa@waseda.jp). Our team has made changes to both concepts, resulting in a complete regolith transport system called regONE.
