There's lots of oxygen on the Moon, but it's trapped in the regolith and the ice. Could a pipeline move the oxygen to where we need it?
and transported to wherever it was needed. Since the equatorial regions have the most sunlight and the most solar energy, that’s likely where lunar bases will be established.
The effort to understand, extract, and use lunar oxygen involves different missions and vehicles. This image is an artist’s concept of the completed design of NASA’s Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover, or VIPER. VIPER will get a close-up view of the location and concentration of ice and other resources at the Moon’s South Pole, bringing us a significant step closer to NASA’s ultimate goal of a long-term presence on the Moon – making it possible to eventually explore Mars and beyond.
Pipelines on Earth are a problem. But not on the Moon. For a lunar oxygen pipeline, leaks don’t matter. They don’t pollute or cause any damage. The oxygen simply escapes. There’s no shifting or changing surface to disrupt the pipeline. The only potential hazard is an impact.
