Q. Recently, which space organization announced plans to build the first railway station on the moon for efficient payload transportation?
Answer:
NASA
Notes: NASA announced FLOAT (Flexible Levitation on a Track), the first lunar railway system, aiming to transform cargo transfer on the Moon. FLOAT, part of NASA's Moon to Mars initiative, utilizes unpowered magnetic robots on a three-layer flexible film track. These robots levitate above the track, reducing wear from moon dust and offering dependable transportation for sustainable lunar colonies. The system integrates diamagnetic levitation, electromagnetic propulsion, and optional solar panels for power generation.
