This document describes research on developing self-replicating lunar factories. It discusses: - Previous concepts for self-replicating systems and lunar factories from the 1950s-1980s. - The goals of developing prototypes to demonstrate the feasibility of robotic self-replication and identifying elements that can be manufactured in situ on the moon. - Prototypes created including self-replicating robots made from LEGO Mindstorm kits and demonstrations of separating materials and making coils from lunar simulant. - Plans for future work including building a scale model self-replicating factory, improving materials separation technologies, and integrating with new NASA objectives. The document outlines past research, work completed in developing initial prototypes,
