Ammonia has potential in in-situ resource utilization for NASA space missions, as it is a high energy molecule that can be converted to nitrogen and electrical energy via the ammonia oxidation reaction. In this proof of concept, a small scale AOR setup was taken to the ISS, and achieved positive results, opening the door to future scaled-up experiments
