About
Dr. Troy King is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of terrestrial construction and space exploration, focusing on the critical challenge of building sustainable infrastructure beyond Earth. His work establishes the foundational processes, workflows, and terminology needed to translate traditional construction industry practices into the unique constraints of lunar and planetary environments. King’s most cited paper, “Lunar Mega Project: Processes, Work Flow, and Terminology of the Terrestrial Construction Industry versus the Space Industry” (2021), has garnered 4 citations and serves as a key reference for international efforts like Europe’s proposed “Moon Village” and China’s lunar base ambitions. By systematically comparing Earth-based mega-project management with the demands of in-situ resource utilization and extreme environments, King provides a vital roadmap for engineers and mission planners. His contributions are shaping how the global space community conceptualizes and executes long-term human presence on the Moon, bridging the gap between established construction science and the emerging field of off-world habitat development.
