Chinese researchers have developed a settings that allow you to extract the moon soil and use it to extract oxygen from carbon dioxide and produce rocket fuel, and successfully test its work on the soil samples that are moved to Earth by the chan 5 mission. Joule.
We were surprised by the fact that the integrated approach for water exploitation and the division of CO2 we developed to be very successful. Combining these technologies will significantly increase the energy efficiency of the infrastructure of future moon facilities and significantly reduce the cost and complexity of Chinese components.

According to researchers, technology is developed by them to solve one of the most important issues that hinder the moon's colonization and build permanent settlements in its territory – to provide for future colonies, oxygen and water. According to the current estimate of scientists, the delivery of 1 kg of these materials to the moon will cost about $ 20,000, while about two dozen liters of liquid daily need to ensure the life of a person in space.
Recently, Chinese scientists have discovered that the moon land has been moved to the Earth by the task of chan-5 containing many hydrogen ions falling into the moon's land along with the problem of the sun wind. This has motivated them to know that these particles can be used to get a large amount of water with a minimum energy consumption. To solve this problem, chemists have created a set of soil heating to 120-430 degrees Celsius in it by focusing sunlight.
This heating leads to the launch of the reaction series, leading to the release of a large amount of hot water into the environment. This steam, as the researchers have discovered, may be forced to actively interact with CO2 molecules in the presence of some moon stones, leading to the formation of oxygen, hydrogen and carbon monoxide, then can turn into missile fuels.
The researchers successfully checked the work of this technology both on the land samples with “chan-5” and their similarities, created from a similar mineral set in the Earth's laboratory. As scientists hope, the settings they create and their more advanced versions will allow the Moon to turn the Moon into a type of space that provides a long -term exploration facility into long -term space and other planets of the solar system.
