Chinese Astronauts Make Rocket Fuel and Oxygen in Space Using 1st-of-its-Kind 'Artificial Photosynthesis'

Chinese astronauts claim to synthesise oxygen and rocket fuel in space artificially

The astronauts on the Shenzhou-19 mission at Tiangong Space Station used semiconductor catalysts to convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and ethylene—a hydrocarbon commonly used in spacecraft propellants

China Astronauts Generate Rocket Fuel, Oxygen In Space Using "Artificial Photosynthesis"

China's Shenzhou-19 crew aboard the Tiangong space station have created oxygen and ingredients for rocket fuel for the first time with the help of "artificial photosynthesis" technology. The crew has successfully conducted maiden in-orbit demonstration of the technology, thereby paving the way for future exploration of space, including crewed moon landing before 2030, the South China Morning Post reported. According to the China Manned Space (CM…

Chinese Astronauts Create Rocket Fuel in Space Using "Artificial Photosynthesis"

Breathing New Air Chinese astronauts claim to have created rocket fuel on board the country's Tiangong space station using a new process dubbed "artificial photosynthesis." As the South China Morning Post reports, space travelers from the current Shenzhou-19 mission produced the necessary ingredients of rocket fuel, as well as oxygen, another useful resource in space. The team used semiconductor catalysts to turn carbon dioxide and water into ox…

China’s aerospace force reveals long-range radar in message to Xi

PLA end-of-year video includes rare close-up footage of radar station said to be ‘at the forefront’ of country’s anti-missile defence system.

The photos viewed show a central structure surrounded by four areas that, presumably, should house laser compartments, rooms for carrying out experiments and a 'target camera'. Here's what's happening in China

Chinese Astronauts Make Rocket Fuel and Oxygen in Space Using 'Artificial Photosynthesis' for the First Time

Chinese astronauts claim have successfully developed artificial photosynthesis technology in orbit for the first time. This revolutionary experiment matches the natural process of photosynthesis by converting carbon dioxide and water into vital resources oxygen and rocket fuel components.
