(Invited) Electrochemical Processes for in Situ Resource Utilization
ECS Meeting Abstracts, 2019In situ resource utilization (ISRU) is the practice of generating resources when humans are away from Earth. The goals of ISRU include the generation of rocket propellants, building materials, and life sustaining commodities from such resources as the Mars atmosphere, lunar regolith, and even trash.

In-situ resource utilization technologies for Mars life support systems
Advances in Space Research, 2000The atmosphere of Mars has many of the ingredients that can be used to support human exploration missions. It can be "mined" and processed to produce oxygen, buffer gas, and water, resulting in significant savings on mission costs. The use of local materials, called ISRU (for in-situ resource utilization), is clearly an essential strategy for a long ...

The Role of Synthetic Biology for In Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU)
Astrobiology, 2012A 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

Geothermite Reactions for In Situ Resource Utilization on the Moon and Beyond
Earth and Space 2010, 2010Utilization of in-situ lunar resources will decrease launch mass and thus the expense of missions to the Moon, and will also give a lunar base a degree of self-sufficiency. Geothermite© reactions utilize an in-situ mixture of minerals and a reducing agent as reactants in a thermite-type chemical reaction.

Solar Energy System for In-Situ Resource Utilization
Space 2004 Conference and Exhibit, 2004Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been developing the Optical Waveguide (OW) system for solar energy utilization. In this system, solar radiation is collected by the concentrator which transfers the concentrated solar radiation to the OW transmission line.
