This advancement may pave the way for astronauts to extract and use resources available on the moon in the future.
, paving the way for the utilization of resources available on the Moon to sustain human presence and exploration. This process is known as in-situ resource utilization.Using a special spherical chamber with a 15-foot diameter that allows for unclean samples to be tested, the Carbothermal Reduction Demonstration team performed a test. They utilized a carbothermal reactor provided by Sierra Space Corp.
The successful extraction of oxygen from simulated lunar soil under vacuum conditions has raised the technology's technical readiness level to six, indicating its readiness for space testing. This achievement represents a significant milestone for, bringing them one step closer to the establishment of sustainable human settlements on other planets.
NASA is working on developing crucial skills and tools necessary for humans and equipment to function effectively in various environments on the surfaces of the moon and other planets as part of the Lunar Surface Innovation Initiative . The CaRD test has demonstrated technology that could be utilized in upcoming exploratory missions, opening doors to the future of space exploration. With the
mission, NASA intends to set a precedent by landing the first woman and person of color on the moon's surface, creating a long-term lunar presence and paving the way for astronauts on their journey to Mars.
