Reduction of lunar minerals by hydrogen gas generates water. This principle has been the most long­standing idea to extract oxygen from the materials of the lunar surface. The ALCHEMIST-ED technology demonstrator serves to explore this process in a laboratory environment on a semi-industrial scale. We introduce the lunar geological baselines, give an overview of the system and discuss the challenges associated with the process. The learning opportunities and technological baselines arising from the planned studies will enable us to assess and advance the technology against competing approaches.
