An oxygen-hunting robot and a power station are already working in space, both of which are part of the UK’s technological innovations.
The oxygen-seeking robot is seen as one of the UK’s most ambitious technologies, which will also benefit the Earth.
UKSA companies currently include Rolls-Royce As a developer of a space power plant. Which can allow the generation of water and oxygen for respiration.
Science Minister George Freeman has announced a £2 million increase for 13 new projects using pioneering approaches in energy, communications and resources.
They are also working on technologies that can withstand the high levels of radiation on Mars. At the same time, a communication tool will be created for astronauts to solve delays in conversations between Earth and Mars.
Engineers are also looking to develop a robot that finds resources like oxygen and water in moon rocks.
During British Science Week, George Freeman emphasized that these advances will not only be useful in space. But they also seek to benefit life on Earth and achieve goals such as the UK’s zero-emissions commitments.
