O projektu

This project utilizes Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) for the analysis of space materials, contributing to the research of their origin and evolution. Secondly, the results obtained will lead to a clearer understanding for future In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU), particularly on the Moon. LIBS creates plasma on the surface of materials and analyzes the emitted light to determine their composition without the need to bring samples back to Earth. Crucially, it operates in a vacuum and can detect low concentrations of hydrogen, crucial in prospecting hydrogen resources (propellant) on the Moon. LIBS also enables the analysis of other elements, thus providing clearer insights into the composition of celestial bodies. The project develops methodology for LIBS systems adapted to vacuum environments, utilizes machine learning for automated mineralogy, and aims for efficient analysis of space materials to expedite ISRU and scientific exploration. The main goal of the project is the calibration of the LIBS system for hydrogen quantification and isotopic analysis.
