Following their review, published at Astra Astronautica, covering all previous research using concentrated solar energy to generate heat for melting lunar regolith, co-authors Stéphane Abanades, Sylvain Rodat and PhD student, Jack Robinot, propose that the most promising technology to extract oxygen using concentrated solar could be vacuum pyrolysis.They have just performed their first test. “We … Continue reading Solar vacuum pyrolysis leverages the lunar vacuum to mine oxygen
