LUWEX

Water is the driving force of all nature, Leonardo da Vinci said. Water is by far the most versatile and most needed resource for human space exploration. It is the key commodity in life support systems as well as for cryogenic chemical rocket propellants. The project goal is the development, integration and validation of lunar water extraction and purification technologies for in-situ propellant and consumables production for future space exploration. LUWEX will push the research and development of In-Situ Resource Utilization advancing the state-of-the- art. _ PROJECT PARTNERS: Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt, Germany LIQUIFER Systems Group, Austria Technische Universität Braunschweig, Germany Scanway sp. z o. o., Poland Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Poland Thales Alenia Space, Italy _ LUWEX HAS BEEN FUNDED UNDER THE GRANT AGREEMENT NO. 101081937 – HORIZON 2022 - SPACE SCIENCE AND EXPLORATION TECHNOLOGIES
