Chinese Scientists Propose Launching Energy Resources from the Moon to Earth

August 20, 2024

Chinese scientists have proposed launching energy resources from the Moon to Earth. In their opinion, creating a magnetic launch installation on the Moon would allow for cheaper delivery of extracted resources to Earth, saving about 90% of current expenses. The working principle of the installation is similar to the process of hammer throwing in athletics - the load will be rotated with increasing speed and then released towards Earth. This delivery method is made possible by the unique properties of the lunar atmosphere: vacuum and low gravity.
