Mars In Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) with Focus on Atmospheric Processing for Near-Term Application—A Historical Review and Appraisal

Applied Sciences
The inspirational paper by Ash, Dowler, and Varsi in 1978, proposing to utilize in situ resources on Mars (ISRU) rather than bringing them from Earth, originated the field of Mars ISRU that has been the subject of research ever since.

The proposed Silicate-Sulfuric Acid Process: Mineral processing for In Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) [PDF]

Acta Astronautica, 2021
Volatile elements and compounds found in extra-terrestrial environments are often the target of In Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) studies. Although water and hydroxide are most commonly the focus of these studies as they can be used for propellant and human consumption; we instead focus on the possible exploitation of sulfur and how it could be ...

Extraterrestrial Electrochemistry - Challenges and Opportunities for Electrolytic in-situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) on Mars

The Electrochemical Society Interface, 2023
The sustained, long-term exploration of other heavenly bodies in the solar system necessitates the development of technological solutions that will free these missions from the constraints of resupply from Earth. Herein, we focus on electrochemical solutions for in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) that will enable “living off the land” on Mars with a ...
