NASA Extracts Oxygen From Lunar Soil Simulant

Image Credit: NASA Johnson Space Center
Published: September 7, 2023

Resources like oxygen are crucial building blocks in NASA’s plans to establish a long-term presence on the lunar surface. In addition to using oxygen for breathing, it can also be used as a propellant for transportation, helping lunar visitors stay longer and venture farther. Discover how scientists were able to successfully extract oxygen from simulated lunar soil in this video.
