| 1. | C . test samples included ilmenite and minnesota lunar simulant , or mls - 1a
实验的样本包括钛铁矿和明尼苏达模拟月球土壤mls - la 。 |
| 2. | Simulated soil is used instead as it is too costly to use actual lunar soil at this stage
由于真正的月球土壤太昂贵，在这阶段不宜作研究之用。 |
| 3. | Its soil contains raw materials that might be harvested and processed into rocket fuel or breathable air
月球土壤包含的原材料可以被采集和加工成飞船燃料或者可以呼吸的空气。 |
| 4. | However , that may be where future moon explorers get their next breath of air : the moons dusty layer of soil is nearly half oxygen
然而，它们可能是日后月球探索者获得氧气的来源。原来月球土壤尘埃层的成份中有一半是氧气。 |
| 5. | In one demonstration they extracted 15 kg of oxygen from 100 kg of lunar simulant - an efficiency comparable to cardiff s pyrolysis technique
在一次实验中，他们从100公斤的模拟月球土壤中提取了15公斤氧气，效率不逊于卡迪夫的热解法。 |
| 6. | A team led by berggren of pioneer astronautics in colorado is working on a system that harvests oxygen by exposing lunar soil to carbon monoxide
科罗拉多州先锋航天太空公司的波根也正领导一个小组，研究将月球土壤暴露在一氧化碳中以收集氧气。 |
| 7. | In a proof of principle , the team used a lens to focus sunlight into a tiny vacuum chamber and heated 10 grams of simulated lunar soil to about 2 , 500
为了验证这个原理，卡迪夫和组员利用透镜将阳光聚焦到细小的真空室，把十克模拟月球土壤加热至约摄氏2 , 500度。 |
| 8. | Ilmenite is an iron titanium ore that earth and the moon have in common . mls - 1a is made from billion - year - old basalt found on the north shore of lake superior and mixed with glass particles that simulate the composition of the lunar soil
钛铁矿在地球和月球均普遍存在，而mls - la是仿照月球土壤成份把苏必略湖北岸数以亿年的玄武岩和玻璃颗粒混合而成。 |
| 9. | Finally , nasa and the florida space research institute are sponsoring moonrox , the moon regolith oxygen competition . a 250 , 000 prize goes to the team that can extract 5 kg of breathable oxygen from jsc - 1 lunar stimulant , a new lunar soil simulant developed under the auspices of nasa johnson space centre , in 8 hours
最后，美国太空总署和佛罗里达太空研究中心，正赞助一项名为月球表土氧气的赛事，提供25万美元奖金给率先在八小时内能从美国太空总署庄臣太空中心的模拟月球土壤jsc - 1提取5公斤可呼吸氧气的人。 |
