Aside 2 from Earth, the inner solar system is like a vast desert where water and other
volatiles are scarce. An old saying is,“In the desert, gold is useless and water is priceless.” …

We provide a review of the development of systems to utilize natural resources on Mars to
enable advanced missions. We review the rationale, history, available resources, systems …

Resources intrinsic to the lunar environment, the abundant and oxide rich surface regolith
and local water ice reserves, can be processed in order to liberate O 2 and H 2 gases for …

Asteroid mining has been proposed as an approach to complement Earth-based supplies of
rare earth metals and to supply resources in space, such as water. However, existing studies …

Volatiles including water on the Moon has been one of the most interesting scientific objects
for decades. In this study, we systematically introduced a concept for China's Chang'E− 7 …

Abstract In situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) is currently the focus of strong interest for

Water distribution uniformity is an important control criterion for icy lunar regolith samples
during ground simulations and is easily influenced by the sample freezing process …

We conceptualise an electric propulsion system in which water is utilised as a propellant for
a Hall effect thruster using in situ electrolysis. By supplying the generated oxygen to the …

HIS paper presents selected results from the nine-month, Phase 1 NASA Innovative and
Advanced Concepts (NIAC) investigation for the Robotic Asteroid Prospector (RAP). The …

It is of great significance to realize the in-situ utilization of lunar water ice for the
