In Situ Methanation on Mars: A Process Concept Study on the Impact of H2/CO2 and Recycle Ratio
Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.The rocket propellant methane can be produced on Mars by in situ resource utilization. The H2/CO2 ratio is decisive, and excess H2 is favored for providing sufficient propellant purity. The operation mode—with or without recycling of unreacted reactants—depends on the resource availability of the selected landing site. Abstract For return missions from

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract The lunar south pole features permanently shadowed regions (PSRs) that never receive direct sunlight. These regions maintain cold temperatures that potentially trap and accumulate volatiles over geologic timescales. Within NASA's Artemis candidate landing regions, we identified 130 candidate landing sites (CLSs) that satisfy the Human Landing ...

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 2, February 2026.We investigated the survival of the yeast Rhodotorula frigidalcoholis and analysed its RNA after exposure to icy moon conditions. Our results show how the yeast can tolerate the extreme conditions and performs metabolic functions under the exposure conditions; for example, by halting the cell cycle in order to repair. Created in BioRender.
