Review of Water Capturing Devices for Lunar ISRU [PDF]
Space Resources Week 2023, 2023 The use of resources present on celestial bodies, known as In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU), is becoming more and more important in space exploration due to the high cost of launching mass into orbit. ISRU would enable long-term manned operations and permanent (robotic) presence on extra-terrestrial bodies.

Volatile Characterisation Instrumentation for ISRU applications [PDF]
, 2019 Key to the success of any future mission(s) aimed at prospecting and extracting lunar volatiles is the availability of miniaturised instruments to identify and characterise the volatile inventory on and below the lunar surface. We will discuss two instruments, which are in development under the EU funded Lunar Volatiles Mobile Instrumentation (LUVMI ...
