NGI Develops Lunar Cone Penetration Test Chamber for ESA

07/07/2025 NGI Norwegian Geotechnical Institute
Dive into the fascinating world of lunar geotechnical engineering with this 8-minute video from the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI). Our team has designed a state-of-the-art cone penetration calibration chamber capable of replicating lunar environmental conditions.

In this video, you'll learn about
  • The challenges of understanding soil mechanics on the Moon.
  • How this technology will help in characterizing lunar regolith and calibrating future tools.
  • The importance of this research for future lunar missions and in-situ resource utilization (ISRU).

This project is sponsored by the European Space Agency (ESA) and represents a step forward in preparing for humanity's return to the Moon and eventual infrastructure creation.

We have used AlphaGalileo since its foundation but frankly we need it more than ever now to ensure our research news is heard across Europe, Asia and North America. As one of the UK’s leading research universities we want to continue to work with other outstanding researchers in Europe. AlphaGalileo helps us to continue to bring our research story to them and the rest of the world.
Peter Dunn, Director of Press and Media Relations at the University of Warwick
AlphaGalileo has helped us more than double our reach at SciDev.Net. The service has enabled our journalists around the world to reach the mainstream media with articles about the impact of science on people in low- and middle-income countries, leading to big increases in the number of SciDev.Net articles that have been republished.

AlphaGalileo is a great source of global research news. I use it regularly.
