Obviously the more resources that can be made on the moon the better. Sierra Space’s system does require the addition of some carbon, though the firm says it can recycle most of this after each ...
MOXIE's objective was to produce oxygen of at least 98% purity at a rate of 6–10 grams per hour (0.21–0.35 oz/h) and to do this at least ten times, so the device can be tested in a range of times of the day, including at night, and in most environmental conditions, including during a dust storm.

Vika or TGK is an oxygen generating system for spaceflight. [1] It is a SFOG, or solid-fuel oxygen generator, a kind of chemical oxygen generator. [1] It has been used on the retired Mir space station and the International Space Station. [1] It was originally developed by Roscosmos to supplement the Elektron oxygen system on Mir. [1]
The space agency wants to run experiments to understand the amount of energy required to potentially produce oxygen at higher pressures that occur on Enceladus and Europa, the icy moons of Saturn ...
Liquid oxygen has a clear cyan color and is strongly paramagnetic: it can be suspended between the poles of a powerful horseshoe magnet. [2] Liquid oxygen has a density of 1.141 kg/L (1.141 g/ml), slightly denser than liquid water, and is cryogenic with a freezing point of 54.36 K (−218.79 °C; −361.82 °F) and a boiling point of 90.19 K (−182.96 °C; −297.33 °F) at 1 bar (14.5 psi).
It is hoped that at full capacity, the system should generate enough oxygen to sustain humans once they arrive on Mars. Lunchbox-sized instrument generates oxygen on Mars Skip to main content
The interactions between the components of the ISS Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) The International Space Station (ISS) Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) is a life support system that provides or controls atmospheric pressure, fire detection and suppression, oxygen levels, proper ventilation, waste management and water supply.
By delivering oxygen to the helmet and drawing gas from the extremities, the suit is designed to ensure that the suit occupant breathes the freshest possible oxygen. The operating pressure of the space suit is maintained at 4.3 psi (30 kPa) (0.3 atm ~ one third of Earth atmospheric pressure) during extravehicular operations, and 0.7 psi (4.8 ...
