SOIL MANAGEMENT

It is known that recycling is mandatory on a spaceship and that waste can serve us good in other forms, like compost. We are able to obtain compost with these 5 easy steps: 1 .Firstly, we must separate the brown waste (ex: dried leaves, wood, hay) that contain a big amount of carbon from the green ones ( grass, vegetal wastes) that are rich in nitrogen. 2.Next, we will combine 2 parts “brown” and 1 part “green”. 3.We will put a small amount of water until the mixture has a sponge-like texture. 4.This must be let to fermente with the air at least 2 weeks. 5.It is ready to be put in the organic garden!

Distilling water with soil from mud vulconoes

An experiment let us produce a stable outcome through three different types of distilled, tap, and simulant lunar regolith water does not only react differently, but the result of oxygen and hydrogen is significantly higher with a stimulant. The Berca Mud Volcanoes is a geological and botanical reservation located in Scorțoasa commune close to Berca in Romania. They are mud volcanoes, small shaped structures just a few metres high caused by the eruption of mud and natural gases. There have been few studies which have investigated the electrical conductivity of volcanic ash and how it may change in different volcanological and environmental factors. Results show that dry volcanic ash is non-conducting (ρ>1.56×107 Ωm), however, the conductivity of volcanic ash increases with the adsorption of water. Gas analysis indicates that the composition varies from site to site, but mainly consists in methane, with approximately 2% carbon dioxide, and 2-15% nitrogen. If we were or use this soil from the Mud Vulcanoes as a stimulant in distilling water the rate of oxygen and hydrogen gas production would certainly increase, not to mention the speed of the process.

Vulcanoes on Venus

There are around 1,600 major volcanoes on Venus, none are known to be erupting at present and most are most likely long extinct. In our advantage, recent studies from January 2020 show that Venus is currently volcanically active. University of Maryland discovers that 37 of Venus coronae show signs of ongoing activity. A question that we ask ourselves is what if we used this mud for distilling water.
