NASA’s Artemis mission Aim to build foundations for a long time in the month of the month at the end of the decade. To achieve this goal, space agencies should return to the basics of human survival: fOODWater, and shelter. In that spirit, a group of researchers from a Teach Tech company won £ 150,000 ($ 194,070) for developing a new system to give clean water drinking.

Their Sonochem System won the first place in the International Aqualunar Challenge, a competition funded by the UK space and organized by the UK space agency and others. The challenge seeks to encourage technology change for future lunar residence, particular about accessing clean water drinking in the moon. UK space agency announced the winners of a statement Published Thursday.

“Astronauts will need a reliable supply of water for drinking and growing food, as well as oxygen for air and hydrogen for fuel,” Meganne christian, chair of the aqualunar challenge judging panel, said in the statement. “5.6% of the land (known as ‘regolith’) around the South Pole of the moon is estimated to be water as ice and cleansed, it can be a principle.” Christian is also the reserve astronaut and commercial exploration of the UK Space Agency.

Lolan Naicker, Technical Director of Nahon Scientists, the first place team develops a type of lunar microwave cleaning water derived from Lunar Ice. Simply saying, the sonochem system uses sound waves to form lunar water bubbles, which reacting atoms reactimal free radical free water.

“Think of digging the ground in your back garden in the middle of the winter and try to get frozen water to drink.” It’s supposed to be able to work on the moon, as it can be used in mars or remote areas of land with difficult access to clean water.

The first place running includes a father-and-daughter-and-daughter-drinking method of water in London in the Queen that a reactor’s power is focused on the power of a reactor. Challenges to be given the runner-up £ 100,000 ($ 129,380) and £ 50,000 ($ 64,690), each.

“Many of these ideas do not only damage the exploration of the future, but also helps to improve the lives and resolve of the world’s reductions, the minister of science in the UK.
