About
Tjorben Griemsmann is a pioneering researcher in the field of in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) for lunar exploration, with a specific focus on additive manufacturing technologies for space applications. His primary research areas include mobile selective laser melting (M-SLM) of lunar regolith, terrain modeling for extraterrestrial habitats, and the development of autonomous construction systems for off-Earth environments. Griemsmann's most notable contribution is his work on the MOONRISE-payload, which serves as a proof-of-principle for using mobile selective laser melting to process lunar regolith directly on the Moon's surface. This breakthrough technology aims to drastically reduce the need for transporting construction materials from Earth, a critical step toward establishing sustainable lunar stations. His 2023 paper on the subject has garnered 4 citations, reflecting its emerging importance in the space research community. By demonstrating that lunar soil can be melted and solidified into structural elements using a mobile laser system, Griemsmann has laid the groundwork for future autonomous construction on the Moon. His work represents a vital step toward enabling long-term human presence beyond Earth, making him a key figure in the next generation of space exploration technologies.
