Abstract:
In situ resource utilization (ISRU) is a concept wherein indigenous materials at the site of an interplanetary mission are used to produce rocket propellants, obviating the need to import all the mission propellants from Earth . The use of extraterrestrial resources on Mars was first proposed by Ash et al, at. JPL in 1978, and was subsequently also studied by Ramohalli et al, at the University of Arizona and by French.
