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 ...

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.
