Both OXYGEN and FUEL will be available on the Mars .....

 

So far, many space missions have been conducted on the moon, in the same way astronauts have traveled many times on the Mars.  Many evidences of life on Mars have been found, the biggest and important evidence among them is 'water'.

   There is the water on the Mars but  not in natural form.  Despite the coldest atmosphere of Mars, water does not freeze there.  Water does not freeze due to high ratio of alkali in the water.  Keeping this in mind, a team of scientists working under the leadership of a scientist of Indian origin has developed a new system.  With this help, oxygen and hydrogen fuel can be made from salty water present on Mars.  This major achievement increases the possibilities of strategic changes in future visits to Mars and other planets.

   In this process, scientists have further explained that in order to convert a water compound into oxygen and hydrogen fuel with the help of electricity, it is necessary to first separate the alkali (reaper) from the water.  It is very long and expensive process in such a difficult situation, but also dangerous according to the environment of Mars.  The research team is led by Professor Vijay Ramani at the University of Washington, US.

   They have tested this system in a temperature of minus 36 degrees Celsius according to the conditions of the atmosphere of Mars.

   Scientist Vijay Ramani said that under the circumstance of Mars, the electrolyser splitting the water into two liquids would completely change the strategic calculation of the mission to Mars and beyond.  This technology is equally useful on Earth, where seas are a viable source of oxygen and fuel (hydrogen).  Modifiers have stated that astronauts will have to produce some necessities, including water and fuel, to stay temporarily on the Mars.

   NASA's Perseverance Rover is currently traveling to Mars.  It has taken with devices that will use high temperature based electrolysis.  However, the equipment sent by the rover would make only oxygen by taking carbon dioxide from the Mars atmosphere, which would be a huge achievement for astronauts for any space mission.
