Toward Building Sustainable Mars Infrastructure: A CO<sub>2</sub>-Breathing Plasma Thruster for Orbit Maintenance and In Situ Oxygen Generation. [PDF]
Glob ChallThis study demonstrates a CO2‐breathing plasma thruster capable of producing high thrust and generating oxygen directly from the Martian atmosphere. By combining propulsion with in situ resource utilization, the system enables long‐duration satellite orbit maintenance and supports future human exploration.
