NASA's Centennial Challenges Contributions to ISRU
47th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting including The New Horizons Forum and Aerospace Exposition, 2009In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) will be critically important for long-term sustainability of operations on the Moon or Mars. NASA is seeking to advance technologies needed for ISRU through Centennial Challenges -NASA’s prize competitions for the citizen inventor.

Solar Thermal Power System for Lunar ISRU Applications: Result of ISRU Analog Test, Mauna Kea, HI
AIAA SPACE 2010 Conference & Exposition, 2010This paper discusses the development, deployment and operation of the optical waveguide (OW) solar thermal power system ISRU applications at the ISRU analog test site on Mauna Kea, HI. In this solar thermal system, solar radiation is collected by the concentrator array which transfers the concentrated solar radiation to the OW transmission line made of

One of the major difficulties in the early settlement of the Moon was the actual process of construction of the structures. Various concepts were explored – from inflatables to self-deploying – in order to minimize the time astronauts would need to spend on the surface doing construction work.

Microchannel Reactors for ISRU Applications
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2005Affordable planning and execution of prolonged manned space missions depend upon the utilization of local resources and the waste products which are formed in manned spacecraft and surface bases. Successful in‐situ resources utilization (ISRU) will require component technologies which provide optimal size, weight, volume, and power efficiency ...

Mars CO2 Powered ISRU Propulsion System
AIAA SPACE 2009 Conference & Exposition, 2009*+ + # Mars atmosphere is made up mostly of carbon dioxide (more than 95% by volume), and its average ambient surface temperature of 210 K, coupled with large diurnal temperature swings can facilitate the formation of dry ice during the night. Because of its low critical temperature, frozen carbon dioxide (dry ice) can be heated at constant volume to ...

The severe lunar environment not only causes concerns about human survivability, but also about material degradation. Issues include thermal stability, fatigue resistance, ultraviolet radiation effects, solar flare protons, galactic cosmic rays, high charge and high-energy particles, vacuum stability, and interior humidity gradients.
