New plasma tech for oxygen, fuel and fertiliser from Mars' atmosphere

ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter analyses the martian atmosphere

Using novel plasma reactors, researchers have shown that it is possible to extract key ingredients from Mars’ carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere to provide future astronauts with oxygen, fuel and fertiliser. This technological leap could make it viable for humans to live on Mars.
