Mars In Situ Resource Utilization Technology Evaluation [PDF]
50th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting including the New Horizons Forum and Aerospace Exposition, 2012 We have examined the technologies required to enable Mars In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) because our understanding of Mars resources has changed significantly in the last five years as a result of recent robotic missions to the red planet. Two major developments, (1) confirmation of the presence of near-surface water in the form of ice in very ...
