Use of Extraterrestrial Resources for Human Space Missions to Moon or Mars

Focusing on in situ resource utilization (ISRU) on the Moon and Mars, this book explores the costs associated with implementing various techniques. It presents three innovative approaches that utilize atmospheric processing: solid oxide electrolysis, reverse water gas shift reaction, and water absorption. Each method is analyzed for its feasibility and potential impact on future space exploration missions, offering valuable insights into sustainable resource management on extraterrestrial bodies.
