A detailed trade-off and comparative evaluation of lunar oxygen production processes was carried out, resulting in the selection of the technique of vapour pyrolysis as the preferred production process concept on which to base the design of a pilot lunar oxygen production plant. A description is given of the design of the lunar regolith pyrolyser which is central to the production plant, together with the supporting pilot plant infrastructure.
