Shielded Moon Colony Buried beneath lunar regolith for protection against radiation and constant micrometeoroid impacts, the colony faces a different engineering challenge: heat removal. Energy generated by life support systems, electronics, and habitation cannot dissipate underground, so it’s routed upward and released through large surface radiators — the only viable way to maintain stable operation in the lunar vacuum. #mooncolony #lunarcolony #spacecolonization #moonbase #nasa
