A PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF USEFUL MATERIALS FOR SUSTAINING MANNED SPACE MISSIONS ON MARS THROUGH IN-SITU RESOURCES UTILIZATION

摘要

A process for the production of useful materials to sustain manned space missions on Mars, as well as the kit of materials and apparatus for implementing the same, is described. Said process uses as raw feedstock only natural resources available in-situ, namely Mars atmosphere and regolith. The kit allows to implement the process of the invention by providing all materials and apparatus that will be used on the Martian soil.
