Molten Regolith Electrolysis Tech Maturation

NASA Molten Regolith Electrolysis Tech Maturation is a completed Game Changing Development project that demonstrated a reactor for producing oxygen and metals from lunar or Martian regolith using in-situ power. The project matured an integrated reactor in a relevant vacuum environment and measured oxygen production from regolith simulant for future lunar resource utilization.
