In Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) Experiments for Mars Exploration [PDF]

, 2005
In situ resource utilization can best be described as living off the land. In our case the land is the planet Mars. ISRU is based on the idea that some fraction of the consumables, life support and propellant materials do not have to be flown from earth.

Development of new processes for ISRU (In Situ Resource Utilization) and ISFR (In Situ Fabrication and Repair) applications on Moon and Mars

, 2012
The goal of this work is the development of new processes useful for future manned space missions, in the framework of the so-called ISRU (In-Situ Resource Utilization) and ISFR (In-Situ Fabrication and Repair) concepts. Specifically, the approach to ISRU will focus on technologies necessary to extract consumables for human life-support system ...

In-Situ Resource Utilization for the Moon, Mars and Beyond... [PDF]

, 2010
For any future manned exploration to the moon, Mars, or beyond, there is a significant need to reduce the cost and logistics of transporting the raw materials such as oxygen, water, and fuel required to sustain human activity. Current research at Kennedy

Extraterrestrial rock mechanics and brittleness indices of simulated Martian rocks with implications for in-situ resource utilization on Mars

International Journal of Mining Science and Technology
Brittleness Index (BI), while not universally standardized, is one of the most critical parameters in the assessment of rock failure behavior, drillability, and excavation efficiency in mining; however, its applicability to extraterrestrial environments ...

Mars In-Situ Resource Utilization Technology Evaluation [PDF]

, 2011
We have examined the technologies required to enable Mars Tn-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 [1-4]. Two

What Are Potential Landing Sites on the Lunar South Pole for In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU)?

American Journal of Student Research
Global interest in the Moon diminished with the conclusion of the United States Apollo Missions of the 1960s and 1970s. However, this decreasing interest is starting to turn around as NASA conducts its Artemis missions in order to promote increased interest in going back to the Moon.

Crop genetic resource policy: the role of ex situ genebanks [PDF]

The world-wide capacity of genebanks for ex situ conservation of crop genetic resources has increased greatly since the 1970s, improving the access of crop breeders to landraces and wild and weedy relatives.
