Commercial viability of lunar In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU)
Planetary and Space Science, 2020Abstract In this paper, we propose an architecture for lunar in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) which can provide propellant, typically cryogenic hydrogen and oxygen, to a cislunar aggregation point in support of future space missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond at a price competitive with commercial delivery from Earth.

Drilling and Excavation for Construction and In-Situ Resource Utilization
2009As the exploration of the solar system by the international space agencies (NASA, ESA, JAXA and others) continues to expand there are increasing considerations to include humans as part of the future missions. These missions may consist of short term site visits as was done during the landing on the Moon or for extended stay as part of permanent human ...

Solar Energy for In-Situ Resource Utilization in Space
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2003In the past 10 years, Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been developing the Optical Waveguide (OW) system for solar energy utilization. In this system, solar radiation is collected by the concentrator which transfers the concentrated solar radiation to the OW transmission line.

(Invited) Electrochemical Processes for in Situ Resource Utilization
ECS Meeting Abstracts, 2019In situ resource utilization (ISRU) is the practice of generating resources when humans are away from Earth. The goals of ISRU include the generation of rocket propellants, building materials, and life sustaining commodities from such resources as the Mars atmosphere, lunar regolith, and even trash.

In-situ resource utilization technologies for Mars life support systems
Advances in Space Research, 2000The atmosphere of Mars has many of the ingredients that can be used to support human exploration missions. It can be "mined" and processed to produce oxygen, buffer gas, and water, resulting in significant savings on mission costs. The use of local materials, called ISRU (for in-situ resource utilization), is clearly an essential strategy for a long ...

The Role of Synthetic Biology for In Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU)
Astrobiology, 2012A persistent presence in space can either be supported from Earth or generate the required resources for human survival from material already present in space, so called “ in situ material.” Likely, many of these resources such as water or oxygen can best be liberated from

Geothermite Reactions for In Situ Resource Utilization on the Moon and Beyond
Earth and Space 2010, 2010Utilization of in-situ lunar resources will decrease launch mass and thus the expense of missions to the Moon, and will also give a lunar base a degree of self-sufficiency. Geothermite© reactions utilize an in-situ mixture of minerals and a reducing agent as reactants in a thermite-type chemical reaction.
