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

Blood, sweat, and tears: extraterrestrial regolith biocomposites with in vivo binders

Materials Today Bio, 2021
The proverbial phrase ‘you can’t get blood from a stone’ is used to describe a task that is practically impossible regardless of how much force or effort is exerted. This phrase is well-suited to humanity’s first crewed mission to Mars, which will likely

Selective Optical Properties of Cement for Enhanced Radiative Cooling and Energy‐Efficient Construction Materials

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Cement phases are good materials for radiative cooling thanks to the selective emissivity in IR ATW. Cement powders have high reflectance of solar radiation which reduces the thermal losses. The onset of the absorption curves is defined by bound excitons. Sulfates have higher radiated powers and reflectance than calcium silicates.

Investigation of the melting behavior of laser-melted lunar regolith simulant for in-situ construction

Journal of Materials Research and Technology
Additive manufacturing of lunar regolith is one of the most promising methods for lunar surface construction. In order to obtain excellent formability of lunar regolith, the interaction between laser and lunar regolith has to be studied in detail.

Numerical Simulations of the Lunar Penetrating Radar and Investigations of the Geological Structures of the Lunar Regolith Layer at the Chang’E 3 Landing Site

International Journal of Antennas and Propagation, 2017
In the process of lunar exploration, and specifically when studying lunar surface structure and thickness, the established lunar regolith model is usually a uniform and ideal structural model, which is not well-suited to describe the real structure of ...
