Researcher Mikhail Kudryashov pointed out that transporting building materials from Earth to the Moon is very expensive and requires huge resources, so scientists are focusing on producing bricks directly on the lunar surface using local resources.

Kudryashov said: "The main advantage lies in taking advantage of the abundant solar power available on the moon. Sand can be collected and heated by the sun to melt the powder, and a durable brick can be made for use in building lunar facilities, without the need for external energy sources."

It is worth noting that Konstantin Raikonov, head of the Space Systems Department for Basic and Applied Research at the Central Engineering Research Institute, had announced to Saba that Russia would deploy the first elements of the International Scientific Station on the Moon during space missions in 2033 and 2034.
