ISRU Technology Development

In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) Technology Development involves creating methods and tools to use materials found on other planets or moons—such as Mars or the Moon—to support exploration and colonization. This includes extracting water, oxygen, or building materials directly from the local environment, reducing the need to send supplies from Earth. Developing ISRU technologies aims to make space missions more sustainable, cost-effective, and capable of supporting longer stays or future settlements by leveraging resources already available off-planet.
