Lunar Propellant Production Plant (LP3-TP)
Completed NASA Game Changing Development project in which Skyre (also known as Sustainable Innovations), with partner Meta Vista USA LLC, developed a lunar system to make propellant from permanently frozen polar water, separate hydrogen and oxygen, keep the products extremely cold, and use hydrogen as a refrigerant to liquefy oxygen. The propellant-production architecture supports lunar in-situ resource utilization and supplies water, oxygen, hydrogen, and LOX/LH2 propellants for life support, fuel cells, cooling, and transportation.
