Mars in situ resource utilization: a review

Planetary and Space Science, 2020
Abstract We provide a review of the development of systems to utilize natural resources on Mars to enable advanced missions. We review the rationale, history, available resources, systems technologies and an on-going NASA program to mature a selected integrated system. Key literature is referenced throughout.

Special Issue on In Situ Resource Utilization

Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2013
This special issue on in situ resource utilization (ISRU) was borne from the reality that in order for humanity to evolve into a spacefaring civilization, it will need to be able to gather, process, and use materials at the site where explorations are made and settlements are planted.

Ceres and In Situ Resource Utilization

2015
Although Mars is the most frequently cited destination for manned missions, Ceres, with its shallow gravity well and enormous water resources, may be even a more interesting site, and one that becomes reachable via electric propulsion. This chapter describes a roundtrip mission to the Ceresian environment, and also explores the potential for in situ ...

In-Situ Resource Utilization for Lunar and Mars Exploration

45th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting and Exhibit, 2007
In-Situ Resource Utilization is the collection, processing, storing and use of materials encountered in the course of human or robotic space exploration that replace materials that would otherwise be brought from Earth to accomplish a mission critical need at reduced overall cost and risk.

Photovoltaics Using In Situ Resource Utilization for HEDS

Space 98, 1998
One of the most important elements of a human planetary base is power production. Lunar data make it clear that several types of solar-to-electric converters can be manufactured on the Moon. Materials research and processing demonstrations are suggested that can be carried out on Earth, the Space Transportation System (STS), the International Space ...

In situ resource utilization for support of a lunar base

36th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting and Exhibit, 1998
Establishment of a permanent human-tended Lunar base requires structures in which humans can function in a shirt-sleeve environment. This is achieved with a structure containing a life support system such as an Engineered Closed/Controlled EcoSystem (ECCES).

Simulation of dissociation using resources on the lunar for in-situ resource utilization (ISRU)

Nano-, Bio-, Info-Tech Sensors and Wearable Systems, 2021
Humanity has achieved landing on Moon in 1969 and now humanity is looking forward to land on extraterrestrial regions, for example, Mars. To reach the extraterrestrial regions, In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) is regarded as one of the most significant concepts because current technologies could not afford enough propellants and others.

Membranes on Mars for In-Situ Resource Utilization Processes

SAE Technical Paper Series, 2004
<div class="htmlview paragraph">The goal of this project is the development and characterization of synthetic membranes for the separation and purification of CO₂ from the Martian atmosphere for in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) applications such as in-situ propellant production.

In Situ Utilization of Indigenous Resources

2009
Planning for a human mission to Mars dates back to the 1950s, but in the 1990s, a new aspect was introduced: In Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU). In its simplest form, it utilizes indigenous Mars resources to produce propellants for ascent from Mars, thus significantly reducing the mass that must be transported to Mars. If accessible water can be found

Solar Thermal Technology for In-Situ Resource Utilization

3rd International Energy Conversion Engineering Conference, 2005
*† ‡ In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) processes require thermal energy at various temperatures. Chemical recovery process (pyrolysis, gas-solid reactions, gas-liquid or threephase reactions and desorption) requires thermal energy at temperatures from 1000 K to 2500 K. Manufacturing processes (hot liquid processing, sinter forming, composite forming,
