Abstract

Utilization of extraterrestrial resources, or In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU), is viewed as an enabling technology for the exploration and commercial development of our solar system. A key subset of ISRU is In-Situ Propellant Production (ISPP), which involves the partially autonomous production of propellants for planetary ascent or Earth return. To support the development and evaluation of ISPP technology, the NASA Kennedy Space Center is currently developing an ISPP hardware test bed for Mars missions, that uses carbon dioxide from the Martian atmosphere.KeywordsModel CheckExecution TraceNormal Operating ConditionMartian AtmosphereSymbolic Model CheckerThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
