Summary

Description

English: Inside a laboratory in the Neil A. Armstrong Operations and Checking Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, testing is underway with Molten Regolith Electrolysis (MRE) on April 19, 2024. The high-temperature electrolytic process aims to extract oxygen from simulated lunar regolith, which will be critical to the agency’s Artemis campaign. Oxygen extracted from the Moon can be utilized for propellent to NASA’s lunar landers, breathable oxygen for astronauts, and a variety of other industrial and scientific applications for NASA’s future missions to the Moon.
