Technological advancements in water purification support scientific research and exploration on the Moon.
Driving innovation in lunar water purification technology Learn about how the UK Space Agency’s International Bilateral Fund (IBF) supported the UK-Canada Aqualunar Challenge to promote advancements in lunar water purification technology. Later this decade, humans are expected to set foot on the Moon once again. This time, the aim is not a short visit but longer stays – weeks, perhaps months – to carry out scientific research and prepare for exploration beyond our celestial neighbour. These ambitions bring new challenges, and one of the most fundamental is also the most familiar: water.
