-I mi Ik.] - Nr_TIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION MANNEDSPACECRER , Texas 483-5111 MSC 70-121 November 20, <strong>1970</strong> HOUSTON_ TEXAS--Ten employees of the NA_AManned Spacecraft Center in Houston have applied for a joint patent on a simple and practical device and process for recovering water and its constituent elements_ hydrogen and oxygen_ from lunar soil. The device is based on a chemical process using hydrogen and solar energy to reduce oxides containing iron_ which are constituents of lunar soil_ to produce water vapor_ which can in turn_ be electrolyzed to yield oxygen and hydrogen. Samples of lunar material returned by the Apollo 11 and 12 astronauts contain significant proportions of an iron-titaniu_a oxide called ilmenite. The apparabus descriked in the patent application uses a mirror to focus the sun's rays on a containe_ of lunar soil_ heating the soil to between 600 and 17300 degrees Centigrade. Y_vdrogen is then introduced into the container and reauces oxygen atoms present in the ilmenite to form steam. The steam is passed through an electrolysis cell which separates the constituent elements of oxygen and hydrogen. The hydrogen used in the reaction must be supplied initially from Earth but may be recircu:.ated a number of times _o produce more oxygen. The chemical process has been tested in a laboratory at the Manned Spacecraft Center using simulated lunar soil and has been found feasible. -more-
