Mars In-Situ Resource Utilization and Sulfur Concrete
Earth and Space 2021, 2021Le projet ISRU de la NASA établit le besoin de matériaux in situ pour la base lunaire et l'habitation de Mars. Mars offre les conditions les plus favorables à l'habitation et à la poursuite de l'exploration de l'espace lointain. La compréhension des conditions planétaires révèle que les variations de température, les radiations solaires et le flux de ...

This chapter discusses whether and how the existing rules of international space law can be applied to regulate the activity of space resource exploitation, with a focus on in-situ resource utilization. As such, the chapter aims to establish how natural resources should be defined in the context of space law, how the activity of exploitation compares ...

Mars in situ resource utilization: a review
Planetary and Space Science, 2020Abstract We provide a review of the development of systems to utilize natural resources on Mars to enable advanced missions. We review the rationale, history, available resources, systems technologies and an on-going NASA program to mature a selected integrated system. Key literature is referenced throughout.

Special Issue on In Situ Resource Utilization
Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2013This special issue on in situ resource utilization (ISRU) was borne from the reality that in order for humanity to evolve into a spacefaring civilization, it will need to be able to gather, process, and use materials at the site where explorations are made and settlements are planted.

Photovoltaics Using In Situ Resource Utilization for HEDS
Space 98, 1998One of the most important elements of a human planetary base is power production. Lunar data make it clear that several types of solar-to-electric converters can be manufactured on the Moon. Materials research and processing demonstrations are suggested that can be carried out on Earth, the Space Transportation System (STS), the International Space ...

Ceres and In Situ Resource Utilization
2015Although Mars is the most frequently cited destination for manned missions, Ceres, with its shallow gravity well and enormous water resources, may be even a more interesting site, and one that becomes reachable via electric propulsion. This chapter describes a roundtrip mission to the Ceresian environment, and also explores the potential for in situ ...

Solar Thermal Technology for In-Situ Resource Utilization
3rd International Energy Conversion Engineering Conference, 2005*† ‡ In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) processes require thermal energy at various temperatures. Chemical recovery process (pyrolysis, gas-solid reactions, gas-liquid or threephase reactions and desorption) requires thermal energy at temperatures from 1000 K to 2500 K. Manufacturing processes (hot liquid processing, sinter forming, composite forming,

In Situ Utilization of Indigenous Resources
2009Planning for a human mission to Mars dates back to the 1950s, but in the 1990s, a new aspect was introduced: In Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU). In its simplest form, it utilizes indigenous Mars resources to produce propellants for ascent from Mars, thus significantly reducing the mass that must be transported to Mars. If accessible water can be found
