An assumption of in situ resource utilization for “bio-bricks” in space exploration
Frontiers in Materials, 2023 Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) mimics the natural cementation process that occurs in various geological settings by using the bicarbonate minerals resulting from various bacterial metabolic pathways as cementing agents.

Plasmas for in situ resource utilization on Mars: Fuels, life support, and agriculture
Journal of Applied Physics, 2022 This work discusses the potential of combining non-thermal plasmas and conducting membranes for in situ resource utilization (ISRU) on Mars. By converting different molecules directly from the Martian atmosphere, plasmas can create the necessary feed ...

Mars In Situ Resource Utilization Technology Evaluation [PDF]
50th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting including the New Horizons Forum and Aerospace Exposition, 2012 We have examined the technologies required to enable Mars In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) because our understanding of Mars resources has changed significantly in the last five years as a result of recent robotic missions to the red planet. Two major developments, (1) confirmation of the presence of near-surface water in the form of ice in very ...
