Mimozemské suroviny - projekt ISRU (The ISRU raw material project)
The In Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) is a core component of the Vision for
Space Exploration as implemented by the Science & Mission Systems
[http://sms.msfc.nasa.gov/] (S&MS) Office. The ISRU works to establish, evaluate
and assess the in situ resources available on the moon and Mars and the
technologies needed to utilize and exploit these resources. These research and
technology development areas will focus on technologies necessary to extract
consumables (O2, H2O, N2, He, etc.) for human life-support system replenishment
(ECLSS, EVA, etc.), source materials (feedstock) for In Situ Fabrication and
Repair (ISFR) technologies, and source materials (composites, etc.) for
radiation shielding and shelters from in situ resources (lunar regolith and
Martian regolith & atmosphere). The transformation of in situ space resources
into raw materials will be studied through fundamental and applied experimental
research, theoretical modeling of processes, and technology development in the
areas of extractive and reactive processing, materials purification, material
transformation, materials shaping and handling, and characterization of these
processes in low-gravity environments. More on: isru.msfc.nasa.gov
