Hypothetical Correlation Model Between Mluku as Local Wisdom and Its Contribution for Lunar Mining

The advancement of space technology, such as establishing a refueling station for rockets to enhance their travel capabilities, has led to a need for a habitat on the moon. Creating such a habitat on the moon is necessary, considering the high costs associated with transporting materials from Earth. As an alternative, extracting materials from the moon itself has become a viable consideration. This paper introduces a method inspired by Indonesian traditional knowledge called Mluku, aimed at loosening lunar soil. This approach is akin to the Prepacked Aggregate technology, previously suggested for mixing concrete on the moon, which stands out for its energy efficiency. The Mluku technique is rooted in the idea of employing more simplistic equipment, mainly when working in conjunction with robotic technology- the combination of both is expected to simplify the design of control mechanisms. Drawing insights from various global space initiatives, there is confidence in the competitive advantages of the Mluku approach, both in terms of reducing payload weight from Earth and enhancing the control mechanisms for worker robots
