ID No : | 1015 Edit | Title: | In Situ Resource Utilization Reactor Developed to Characterize Lunar Soil |
Summary / Review : |
...Regolith and Environment Science, Oxygen and Lunar Volatiles Extraction (RESOLVE) project ...
"... The NASA Glenn Research Center designed, built, and tested a reactor for the volatile extraction aspects of the RESOLVE project. The reactor chamber holds approximately 100 g of soil, filling nearly half its volume. The chamber walls are heated, and water attached to the soil (e.g., in the form of ice) is released as steam. Other loosely bound volatiles, such as hydrogen or nitrogen may also be released during heating. The pressure in the chamber increases as gases are generated, reaching a maximum of 150 psia at 150 C. The evolved gases are pressure fed to analysis modules elsewhere in the RESOLVE package." (Author's abstract) |
