    1. Advanced environmental control and construction technologies are overviewed.

      Cutting-edge techniques for extraterrestrial in situ resource utilization are summarized.

      Innovative technologies for efficient energy harvesting on the moon are highlighted.

      Typical technologies for planetary transportation platforms and geological explorations are commented.

      The current status, challenges, and perspectives are introduced and envisioned.

  • Deep space exploration expands our understanding about the evolution history of solar system, while the future development heavily relies on the construction of energy systems and utilization of resources on the planet. This paper systematically reviewed the progress in the environmental control and construction technologies of space bases, extraterrestrial in situ resource utilization technology, energy systems, key technologies for planetary transportation platforms, and geological explorations. The current status, pros and cons of these technologies and systems are introduced and discussed. As an important artificial microenvironment in the space base, the environmental control and life support system (ECLSS) provides necessary resources for human. Sintering and additive manufacturing technologies demonstrate the potential to construct a space base with lunar regolith or simulants. The extraction and in situ utilization of resources on the Moon, including water ice, oxygen, and helium-3, are crucial to maintain life support for lunar exploration. Typical energy systems that can be used on the Moon include photovoltaic cell, Stirling power generation technology, closed Brayton cycle (CBC) system, Rankine cycle system, heat storage system, and integrated energy system. The CBC system has the highest thermal efficiency (39%) among them, making it suitable for late-period energy supply. The performance of various planetary rovers, the most important transportation platforms, are summarized. Through geological explorations, the resource distribution, content, and occurrence can be obtained. Perspectives on the future, promotions of environment adaptation, resource recovery, energy efficiency, and intelligence of the existing technologies are still needed to move forward on space explorations.
