NASA plans to lay oxygen pipeline at Moon’s south pole for Artemis mission | – Times of India
NASA is pushing the boundaries of lunar exploration with the proposed Lunar South Pole Oxygen Pipeline (L-SPoP), a revolutionary project designed to enhance Moon operations. This initiative aims to address the critical challenge of transporting oxygen on the Moon, a key resource for sustaining long-term human missions under the Artemis program.By utilising in-situ resources, L-SPoP seeks to reduce both the costs and risks associated with oxygen transport, which is essential for life support and rocket propulsion. The pipeline will be constructed using lunar materials, primarily aluminium, and is designed to operate autonomously with minimal power requirements.
