Abstract:

A project to build and operate a chemical synthesis unit representing the core of a machine capable of manufacturing rocket propellant primarily out of indigenous materials freely available on the surface of the planet Mars was carried out at Martin Mariella Astronautics in Denver, Colorado between October 1993 and January 1994, funded by the New Initiatives Office of NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. David Kaplan was the JSC programme manager and Steve Price was the project manager at Martin Marietta.
