Before any building rises on the Moon, engineers will need to understand the soil beneath their structures just as they do on Earth. To address this challenge, a recent ESA Discovery project led by the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI) has produced a design for a specialised calibration chamber that will allow cone penetration instruments to be tested under lunar conditions, providing the g
