Calabrese, G.C. (author), Hidding, A.J. (author), Bier, H.H. (author)This chapter presents a review of cementless materials for 3D printing, with a specific emphasis on the utilization of volcanic ash in the context of a case study for off-Earth construction. As a highly promising alternative to traditional concrete, selected binders are investigated in relation to volcanic ash for the creation of an alternative...book chapter 2024

Bier, H.H. (author), Hidding, A.J. (author), Veer, F.A. (author), Peternel, L. (author), Schmehl, R. (author), Cervone, A. (author), Verma, M.K. (author)In order for off-Earth top surface structures built from regolith to protect astronauts from radiation, they need to be several metres thick. In a feasibility study, funded by the European Space Agency, Technical University Delft (TUD aka TU Delft) explored the possibility of building in empty lava tubes to create rhizomatic subsurface habitats....book chapter 2024

Sohn, H. (author)Dawn is close. A thick layer of mist lingers a few inches above the ground in a patch of dense tropical forest near Hopelchén, the place of the five sinkholes. The air is humid and fat with dew; it smells of cold ashes and smoke, rotting leaves, mushrooms, moss, mud. A thin ray of light starts to make its way through the lush foliage of a...book chapter 2024

Gorny, R.A. (author), Kousoulas, Stavros (author), Perera, Dulmini (author), Radman, A. (author)Our present condition urges those critically and creatively engaged with it, to address the transformative potentials that are brought about by a highly intertwined triad of changes. As the posthuman philosopher Rosi Braidotti notes, these three changes can no longer be addressed in isolation or in the context of singular disciplines. At an...book chapter 2024

Kousoulas, Stavros (author), Radman, A. (author)It is common enough question: What is the human? Sure enough, it is also a question that has troubled some of the greatest minds to walk this planet. Nevertheless, one might wonder, is it really a good question in its own right? To show our allegiances from the outset, we categorically declare it an extremely bad question – in the sense of being...book chapter 2024

Centeio Jorge, C. (author), van Zoelen, E.M. (author), Verhagen, R.S. (author), Mehrotra, S. (author), Jonker, C.M. (author), Tielman, M.L. (author)As human-machine teams become a more common scenario, we need to ensure mutual trust between humans and machines. More important than having trust, we need all teammates to trust each other appropriately. This means that they should not overtrust or undertrust each other, avoiding risks and inefficiencies, respectively. We usually think of...book chapter 2024

Cheibas, Ina (author), Laot, Mathilde (author), Rich, Belinda (author), Fu, J. (author), Zhu, Jia-Ning (author), Popovich, V. (author)This study investigated the feasibility of in-situ manufacturing of a functionally graded metallic-regolith multimaterial. To fabricate the gradient, digital light processing, an additive manufacturing technique, and spark plasma sintering were selected due to their compatibility with metallic-ceramic processing in a space environment. The...book chapter 2024

Schmehl, R. (author), Rodriguez, Mario (author), Ouroumova, Lora (author), Gaunaa, Mac (author)Renewable energy for Mars habitats is of key interest for future crewed missions. However, the low solar irradiation and low atmospheric pressure on Mars pose serious challenges to exploiting these resources reliably. In this chapter, we investigate the technical feasibility of a soft-kite-based airborne wind energy system and its potential to...book chapter 2024

Gaunaa, Mac (author), Rodriguez, Mario (author), Ouroumova, Lora (author), Schmehl, R. (author)Although technologically challenging, airborne wind energy systems have several advantages over conventional wind turbines that make them an interesting option for deployment on Mars. However, the environmental conditions on the red planet are quite different from those on Earth. The atmosphere’s density is about 100 times lower, and gravity is...book chapter 2024

Bryson, John R. (author), Andres, Lauren (author), Ersoy, A. (author), Reardon, Louise (author)Any one shock is never isolated from other shocks and any one recovery process will be complicated by further related and unrelated shocks and their related recovery processes. This chapter highlights the interactions that occur between shocks that are experienced in parallel or simultaneously and those that occur linearly and take the form of...book chapter 2024

Andres, Lauren (author), Bryson, John R. (author), Ersoy, A. (author), Reardon, Louise (author)The nature of shocks and crisis is highly diverse; crises and shocks tend to conglomerate rather than occur as single events. People and places are affected differently and have distinct abilities and resources to respond, cope and recover. Key here are path-dependent socio-economic living conditions along with pre-existent intersectional...book chapter 2024
