Gas Stations on Mars Could One Day Be a Reality

Astronauts could use methane-based rocket fuel to return from Mars: Study

Last Updated: Astronauts Could Use Methane-based Rocket Fuel To Return From Mars: Study The idea of creating methane-based rocket fuel is not new as it was initially suggested by billionaire Elon Musk and his team at SpaceX. One of the stumbling blocks in sending humans to Mars is how astronauts will carry enough rocket fuel to return safely back to Earth. The challenge may have found its solution in research carried out by a group of scientists at the University of California. The study suggests astronauts could use methane to make their rocket fuel to start their journey back to Earth. A team of scientists led by Houlin Xin, an assistant professor in physics & astronomy, have discovered a more efficient way to make methane-based rocket fuel on Mars.

Methane could be the fuel of the future for returning from Mars

The setup is a CO 2/water electrolyzer, UCI physicist Huolin Xin, who is leading the research, told SYFY WIRE. In a water electrolyzer, you have H 2 produced in the cathode and O 2 produced in the anode. In a CO 2/water electrolyzer, in the anode, O 2 is produced by oxidizing water. In the cathode, CO 2 is reduced into methane. Xin has developed the Organic Combustion Method, which is similar to the Sabatier process used to extract breathable oxygen from water on the ISS. The Sabatier process takes advantage of solar power to generate electricity that hits H2O molecules and triggers electrolysis, breaking them down as the electric current passes through them. The carbon and oxygen are then separated, leaving carbon and double the oxygen. The problem is that the Sabatier process needs monster machines and two phases for the reaction to happen.
