NASA opens a $3M challenge for waste management in space to improve the sustainability of longer-term lunar missions
NASA’s LunaRecycle Challenge seeks to incentivize the design and development of energy-efficient, low-mass, and low-impact recycling solutions that address physical waste streams and improve the sustainability of longer-term lunar missions.
Innovating Waste Management and Recycling Systems for Long-Duration Space Travel The LunaRecycle Challenge is a $3 million, two track, two-phase competition focused on the design and development of recycling solutions that can reduce solid waste and improve the sustainability of longer-term lunar missions. The challenge also can influence and inspire better approaches and outcomes for terrestrial recycling—through entirely novel approaches, through processes that improve efficiency and reduce toxic outputs, and through smaller-scale technologies that could be deployed in communities around the globe.
