SUMMARY:Small Exhibition of Lunar Architecture Design
DESCRIPTION:The Small Exhibition of Lunar Architecture Design showcases innovative concepts and visionary designs for sustainable human habitats on the Moon. As space agencies and private companies plan for long-term lunar missions\, architects and engineers are reimagining how to create functional\, resilient\, and aesthetically inspiring structures in the harsh lunar environment. \nThis exhibition features scale models\, digital renderings\, and material prototypes of lunar bases\, research stations\, and even recreational spaces. Highlights include designs utilizing in-situ resource utilization (ISRU)\, 3D-printed regolith structures\, and modular inflatable habitats. The display also explores life-support systems\, radiation shielding\, and energy-efficient solutions tailored for the Moon’s low gravity and extreme temperatures. \nBy blending creativity with engineering\, the exhibition inspires new ideas for extraterrestrial living\, fostering collaboration between designers\, scientists\, and space explorers to shape humanity’s future beyond Earth.

SUMMARY:Adapting Lunar and Martian Soil for Plant Growth
DESCRIPTION:Transforming lunar and Martian soil for agriculture is essential for sustainable space exploration. Lunar regolith lacks organic matter and nitrogen\, while Martian soil contains toxic perchlorates. Key strategies include enriching soils with fertilizers\, removing toxins (e.g.\, washing perchlorates)\, and introducing microbes to enhance nutrient cycling. Hydroponics and genetic engineering may supplement traditional methods. Experiments with simulants show promise\, but challenges like low gravity\, radiation\, and soil structure remain. Overcoming these barriers could enable future colonies to grow crops\, reducing reliance on Earth. Research continues to optimize plant growth in extraterrestrial environments. To this end\, Sichuan University will organize in-person talks on this topic.

SUMMARY:The 4th International Workshop on Lunar and Deep Space Exploration
DESCRIPTION:The Fourth International Workshop on Lunar and Deep Space Exploration was held successfully on September 3\, 2025\, in Hefei\, China\, co-organized with the Deep Space Exploration Laboratory (DSEL) \, the International Deep Space Exploration Association (IDSEA) and the Asia-Pacific Space Cooperation Organization (APSCO). The workshop served as a strategic precursor to the Third Tiandu Forum\, reinforcing its role as an essential component of the week’s premier deep space exploration gathering.\nThe event attracted 88 participants from 30 countries\, including esteemed academicians\, leaders of space agencies and research institutions\, and prominent experts and scholars.\nThe workshop featured 19 presentations and four keynote addresses\, focusing on pioneering topics such as the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS)\, the Cislunar CubeSat Constellation (C3)\, and collaborative asteroid exploration programs. These sessions provided a platform for sharing cutting-edge research and exploring future joint missions.\nA highlight of the workshop was the roundtable discussion\, which facilitated in-depth dialogue among representatives from various countries and institutions. It was officially confirmed that the workshop will become an institutionalized annual event\, held in conjunction with the Tiandu Forum to ensure continued synergy and sustained international partnership.
