The first extensive investigation of metal manufacturing on another planet has just been published.
, this oxygen synthesis was been shown to be possible on Mars, perhaps even on the Perseverance rover. In order to co-produce oxygen and iron alloy, which may be utilized to manufacture metals, Swinburne's metal extraction method is designed to be paired with a future oxygen generating facility .human development and missions on Mars.Technology launch into orbit is costly, time-consuming, and unsustainable.
To advance the research, the team, which consists of postdoctoral researcher Dr. Reiza Mukhlis and Ph.D. candidates Deddy Nababan, Matthew Shaw, and Matthew Humbert from Swinburne's Fluid and Process Dynamics Research Group and Space Technology and Industry Institute, is now closely collaborating with CSIRO Minerals and the CSIRO Space Technology Future Science Platform.
Professor Akbar Rhamdhani explained, "we would like to develop a metal extraction process on Mars that is truly utilizing in-situ resources—without bringing reactants from Earth—to support further human mission and development on Mars.""If you wanted to build something large on Mars without having to pay to launch everything from Earth , this could be a very valuable process," he added.
Swinburne director of the Space Technology and Industry Institute, Professor Alan Duffy, also explained, "Australia is committed to supporting NASA's Return to the moon and going beyond to Mars in Project Artemis, and they will require the use of the resources of the moon and Mars to make that feasible.
