High-Level Project Summary
In 2020, NASA did a novel robot that produces oxygen on mars using the solid oxide electrolysis method to separate Carbon and O2 (CO2). Plus, many research papers use metal-organic-frames for CO2 reduction. In the aimed work, we will find MOF structure to produce more than 6-10g of oxygen per hour besides improving and managing the productivity by a robot to tank oxygen and keep the MOF material safe. We aim to produce more than 6-10 grams of oxygen per hour. Which depends on MOF productivity; This robot device will analyze masses produced by the Coriolis sensor and then store it in the replaceable tank—providing a novel method to produce oxygen.

Hackathon Journey
As a Leader, I imagine it will be full of experiments and learning; it will be challenging. This project, acknowledges how important it is to produce oxygen instead of "we have enough to breath."
Also, Our team is passionate about space applications!
We were extremely excited to start a project during a hackathon that is related to NASA! We did not dive deep into approaching the research because of time; however, we are still studying reticular chemistry. The only challenge we faced was collaborating time between WRO local competition and Space App. So we had to work on two kinds of research with two reports. Lastly, we appreciate our school supervisor Ms. Narjis because she understood our situation and passion by accepting to have more time to consume both WRO and Space Apps hackathon. And we want to thank our computer science teacher Ms. Samar who helped us simulate the diagrams and taught us a higher level of computer science.
