 |  Team chosen to make first oxygen on the Moon
 9 March 2022
Following a competition, ESA has selected the industrial team that will design and build
the first experimental payload to extract oxygen from the surface of the Moon. The
winning consortium, led by Thales Alenia Space in the UK, has been tasked with
producing a small piece of equipment that will evaluate the prospect of building larger
lunar plants to extract propellant for spacecraft and breathable air for astronauts - as well
as metallic raw materials for equipment.
