Sabatier Reactor

A Sabatier Reactor is a piece of technology that converts hydrogen and carbon dioxide to produce methane and water. It uses elevated temperature and pressure in an endothermic reaction over a nickel catalyst. They are widely considered necessary appliances by spacers and grounders alike on Mars, in the Main Belt, and throughout the Rim. 
Without a Sabatier Reactor, neither spacer nor grounder could produce the daily fuel and water necessary for survival and transportation.
