NASA has launched a $3 million prize challenge for innovators with solutions for waste on the Moon and deep space habitats, highlighting the urgency of sustainable waste management in space.
Dealing with trash generated during space missions has been a longstanding issue, with Apollo landings leaving debris on the Moon and the ISS having its own waste management challenges.
The new prize challenge seeks innovative solutions for recycling or reusing inorganic waste generated over long-duration deep space missions, emphasizing sustainability.
With two competition tracks, one focuses on hardware development for lunar waste management while the other emphasizes creating virtual systems to enhance participation.
