NASA is Working on Technology to 3D Print Circuits in Space

Launching payloads from Earth into space is expensive, so it makes sense to live off the land. Solutions have been developed for bulk materials, like extracting water or using regolith for building materials. Still, it was assumed that advanced technology like microchips would have to come from Earth. Maybe not. NASA engineers recently tested circuit boards on a sub-orbital rocket created with 3D printers from raw materials. The circuits are only 30 microns, much bigger than modern microchips, but they could work for antennas and other applications.

"lunar regolith is much more rich in metals like titanium, magnesium, calcium, and iron than typical Earth crust, but relatively lacking in silicon and oxygen, which makes lunar-based industry and farming a complex, uncertain business."

When return to the or land on for the first time, they will likely use oxygen extracted from planetary rock. They'll build shelters from 3D-printed blocks composed of locally mined metals. They may even transport equipment via an tether known as a elevator. These are some of the essential tools for space exploration.
