Origins of the Water Ice Excavated by the Christmas Eve Crater Formation on Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract On the 24th of December 2021, a meteoroid struck the martian surface, producing a 150‐m wide crater and excavating the lowest‐latitude water ice observed on Mars to date. Knowledge of the preimpact depth, thickness and lateral continuity of the excavated ice would provide new insight into past environmental changes such as temperature and ...

In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) for life support in Space

, 2022
The 21st century is an era rich in scientific findings with rapid technological development. Hence space travels and the colonization of other celestial bodies would result no longer an image close to the world of science fiction but would be desirable soon. With this aim, many Space Agencies, Research Centers, and Universities are working to establish
