NASA In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) Project: Development and Implementation

AIAA SPACE 2008 Conference & Exposition, 2008
The establishment of sustained human presence on the Moon for science and exploration combines the design, integration, and operation challenges experienced from both the short Apollo lunar missions and the build-up and sustained crew operations of the International Space Station (ISS).

On the Viability of Carbon Dioxide in-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) to Produce Chemical Feedstocks on Mars

ECS Meeting Abstracts, 2023
The vision of a sustained human presence in space and extraterrestrial bodies necessitates an ever-larger share of life sustaining materials to be produced by in-situ resource utilization (ISRU). In this context, on Mars, NASA envisions the transformation of Martian atmospheric carbon dioxide into potential feed stocks through a process of climate ...

The Role of Synthetic Biology forIn SituResource Utilization (ISRU)

Astrobiology, 2012
A 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 in situ material by conventional physical and chemical processes.

A brief review of chemical and mineralogical resources on the Moon and likely initial in situ resource utilization (ISRU) applications

Planetary and Space Science, 2012
In situ resource utilization (ISRU) refers to the in situ generation of consumables for autonomous or human activities from raw materials found on the Moon or other planetary bodies. The use of ISRU on the Moon may provide a means of reducing the cost and risk of human exploration of the Moon and beyond, and an impetus for commercial contributions to ...

Estimation of H2O content (in wt%) stored in hydrated silicates at Mars and implications for In Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU)

2022
<p>In the past decades, numerous hydrated silicates have been detected at the surface of Mars from orbital and <em>in situ </em>characterization. Understanding the hydrated mineralogy of Mars constitutes an important goal to retrace its water history and to evaluate its resource assets in terms of water budget.

In Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) field expedition 2012: Near-Infrared Volatile Spectrometer System (NIRVSS) science measurements compared to site knowledge

Advances in Space Research, 2015
Abstract The scientific information collected and evaluated using the Near-Infrared Volatile Spectrometer System (NIRVSS) during the 2012 In Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) field campaign, exhibits variations related to differing surface materials and presence of volatiles during both rover traverses and auger activities demonstrating the promise of

A new experimental capability for the study of regolith surface physical properties to support science, space exploration, and in situ resource utilization (ISRU)

Review of Scientific Instruments, 2018
Many surfaces found on the Moon, asteroids, Mars, moons, and other planetary bodies are covered in a fine granular material known as regolith. Increased knowledge of the physical properties of extraterrestrial regolith surfaces will help advance the scientific knowledge of these bodies as well as the development of exploration (e.g., instrument and ...

Lunar Drilling, Excavation and Mining in Support of Science, Exploration, Construction, and In Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU)

2012
Exploration of almost any extraterrestrial body follows a path from low complexity, low science pay-off to high risk, high pay off. The Moon, being the closest extraterrestrial body, was the first body to be examined with a naked eye by ancient astronomers and philosophers from Babylonia, Greece, and Egypt.

High-Fidelity Dust Simulants for Long-Term Toxicological Assessment of Lunar Regolith to Support In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU)

IAF Space Exploration Symposium
NASA, ESA, and other space agencies are planning a new phase of Moon exploration, with the goal of establishing a permanent human presence. Human interaction with the lunar environment will expose the crew to fine (< 20 μm) lunar dust (LD) which might exhibit toxic effects on the respiratory system and other organs.
