Magnesium as an ISRU-Derived Resource for Lunar Structures

Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2012
AbstractMagnesium is one of the most pervasive metals in lunar soil and has many characteristics that make it applicable to in situ refining and production. This somewhat overlooked alkaline earth metal is easily cast, used, and recycled, characteristics that are required in the Moon's harsh environment.

Microchannel Reactors for ISRU Applications

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2005
Affordable 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 ...

The value of ISRU

2012
By utilizing such indigenous resources, the amount of materiel that must be brought from Earth might be reduced, thus potentially reducing the cost of a space mission.

Value of ISRU

2018
Cutright and Ambrose (2014) wrote a generic report on economic benefits of ISRU but I could not find much in that report that seemed useful for our purposes here.

ISRU for construction

2010
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.

Materials and ISRU

2018
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.

Lunar ISRU technology

2012
The lunar-soil particle size distribution is very broad. In addition, because of the irregular particle shapes, the specific surface area is high: approximately 0.5m2/g. In fact, lunar soil particles have about eight times more surface area than an assemblage of spheres with the equivalent particle size distribution.
