Lunar surface meteor strikes on minds of Nasa bosses in developing Moon base
Space agency boss Jared Isaacman has said there were going to be potentially hazardous environmental factors that needed to be taken into account in establishing an outpost.
During the Artemis II space mission, earlier this year, around the far side of the Moon, the astronauts aboard observed several flashes as small space rocks, known as meteoroids, slammed directly into the lunar surface at high speeds without an atmosphere to burn them up.
Nasa plans to land people back on the natural satellite in 2028, with a view to having a Moon base up and running by 2032, providing a continual human presence with routine crew rotations.
Nasa is scheduled to launch the Artemis III mission next year.
