One Day Astronauts Will Be Breathing Oxygen Made From Rocks By Nancy_A
“This technology has the potential to produce several times its own weight in oxygen per year on the lunar surface, which will enable a sustained human presence and lunar economy,” said Aaron Paz, NASA senior engineer project manager of the Carbothermal Reduction Demonstration team at JSC.
Although the process of heating the regolith is relatively straightforward, NASA needed to be able to mimic the vacuum conditions of space while using the kind of power that would be available to future lunar explorers. The CaRD team test was performed inside a special spherical chamber with a 4.5 meter diameter called the Dirty Thermal Vacuum Chamber. The chamber is considered “dirty” because the samples don’t have to be sterile.The team used a high-powered laser to simulate heat from a solar energy concentrator and melted the lunar soil simulant within a carbothermal reactor developed for NASA by Sierra Space Corporation.
