Mars In Situ Resource Utilization and Sulfur Concrete

, 2022
The NASA ISRU project establishes the need for in-situ materials for the lunar base and Mars habitation. Mars has the most favorable conditions for habitation and further deep space exploration. The understanding of planet conditions reveals that the temperature variations, solar radiations, and micrometeorite flux are much more favorable than the Moon
