A team of researchers has come up with the idea to use autonomous robots like hydraulic excavators to build stone walls on the moon.
Due to the large size requirements, the researchers propose the construction of the stone wall only in the direction where shielding is really needed.Researchers have proposed that robots could be used to build a dry stone wall which will protect the lunar base s on the moon from the rocket exhausts on the launch pad.
According to estimates, the ring-shaped stone walls would ideally have a radius of 164 to 328 feet .Back in the day in 1969, the Apollo 12 mission crew had brought back parts from the Surveyor III lander. The lander had been dropped on the lunar surface in 1967. Due to the large size requirements, the researchers propose the construction of the stone wall only in the direction where shielding is really needed. They propose a quarter ring type of structure to protect the installations.
