Structural Corrosion in Lunar Gateway Modules (arstechnica.com)
0xBASE INTEL BRIEF
- Critical corrosion detected in core modules
- Threat to long-term deep-space habitability
- Material science standards under review
"Engineers have identified significant material corrosion within the Lunar Gateway’s primary modules, posing a threat to the station's long-term orbital viability. This finding suggests potential failures in the material specifications for extended deep-space exposure and may necessitate critical retrofitting or mission delays to ensure structural safety for crewed operations."
