Moisture in the Martian atmosphere is important for planned human missions to the red planet.
It can be used as an alternative water source in emergency situations or in areas where access to groundwater is not possible.
According to a recent study conducted in Britain, access to water, not only for drinking, but also for producing oxygen and fuel, would significantly make astronauts' lives easier.

This study is among the first to predict technologies that could be used to recover water in the Martian environment and proposes ideas for producing suitable tools for collecting moisture in extreme conditions.
According to the analyses conducted so far, underground ice is the safest and most long-term source on Mars, while atmospheric moisture and vapor may be additional suppliers of resources.

The study, published in the journal Advances in Space Research, clarifies the development of technologies so that they are self-sufficient and guarantee safety and suitable living conditions during future space exploration missions.
