Title:
INTEGRATED SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MARS SURFACE CARRIER ROCKET PROPELLANT IN-SITU PREPARATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/041146
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed in the present invention are an integrated system and a method for Mars surface carrier rocket propellant in-situ preparation. In the present invention, a methane propellant is prepared from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of Mars, and a liquid oxygen propellant and oxygen required by a life support system are prepared by means of water electrolysis in water-containing minerals of Mars, such that the present invention has a high degree of fit with requirements of liquid oxygen methane carrier rockets and Mars exploration tasks. In the present invention, product water of a liquid methane preparation process is conveyed to a water electrolysis system, so that the exploitation amount of the water-containing minerals can be reduced by half, that is, oxygen in carbon dioxide of Mars is used as an important source of a liquid oxygen propellant.
