The European Space Agency (ESA) has announced it has chosen a team to make oxygen on the moon.
The team, led by aerospace manufacturer Thales Alenia Space, will design and build a payload to create oxygen from lunar soil.
The payload for the moon will be designed to create between 50 and 100 grams of oxygen from the dusty material which covers the moon, called regolith. The aim is to extract 70% of the available oxygen in the sample within a 10 day period. That time limit is because it will need to operate within the window of available solar power in a lunar day, which is around two weeks long.
