Thermodynamic model of Mars Oxygen ISRU Experiment (MOXIE) [PDF]

Acta Astronautica, 2016
Abstract As humankind expands its footprint in the solar system, it is increasingly important to make use of the resources already in our solar system to make these missions economically feasible and sustainable. In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU), the science of using resources at a destination to support exploration missions, unlocks potential ...

Oxychlorine Species on Mars: A Review

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Oxychlorine species (mainly perchlorate and chlorate) have been identified at multiple locations on the surface of Mars by both orbiter and in situ rovers. They have also been found in martian meteorites. Cl‐isotopes in meteoritic minerals suggest that an oxychlorine cycle has been operating on the martian surface for the last ∼4 billion years.

A Comprehensive Review of Additive Manufacturing for Space Applications: Materials, Advances, Challenges, and Future Directions

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 27, Issue 22, November 2025.
Additive manufacturing (AM) transforms space hardware by enabling lightweight, high‐performance, and on‐demand production. This review outlines AM processes—powder bed fusion (PBF), directed energy deposition (DED), binder jetting (BJ), sheet lamination (SL), and material extrusion (ME)—applied to propulsion, satellite structures, and thermal devices ...

Progress in Resource Evaluation Using a Handheld Raman Instrument Developed for Astronaut Missions

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, Volume 56, Issue 11, Page 1418-1433, November 2025.
Analogue studies were undertaken using a prototype, handheld Raman spectrometer (developed for astronaut usage on the moon) to collect data that would indicate the presence of water and help develop the technology to search for valuable trace elements (such as lithium and caesium).
