Future space missions on the Moon for Oxygen Source


NASA studies the most propitious to send to future human and robotic missions to the moon with Ultraviolet Telescope. Hubble has found concentrations of a mineral that could be used as oxygen source for future space missions on the Moon.It is a mineral called Limousin, which is rich in titanium and iron oxide, and which could be extracted with relative ease to provide air oxygen, water and fuel to astronauts.
This concentration of minerals have been discovered in the crater Aristarchus, when exploring the satellite Hubble also photographed areas in the past landed the Apollo 15 and 17 moles on their visits.

The results captured by the telescope still being evaluated by scientists as part of investigations to send a new manned mission to the moon in 2018.
Although Hubble was doomed to be destroyed continues to provide valuable astronomical images. His replacement would be operational by 2012.
