Characterization of planetary regolith simulants for the research and development of space resource technologies

Jared Long-Fox, D. T. Britt · 27 Sep 2023

Human planetary exploration and colonization efforts are reliant on the ability to safely interact with planetary surfaces and to leverage local regolith as a resource. The high-cost and risk-intensive nature of establishing planetary infrastructure and resource utilization facilities necessitates risk reduction through laboratory-based research and development of space resource acquisition, processing, and extraction technologies using…

Microfluidics and Macrofluidics in Space: ISS-Proven Fluidic Transport and Handling Concepts

Job Nijhuis, Svenja Schmidt, Nam Nghiep Tran et al. · 26 Jan 2022

Fluid transport and handling in extraterrestrial conditions, i.e. microgravity, require significantly different system engineering than here on Earth. On Earth, a notable part of fluid processing units inherently relies on buoyancy to transport and handle fluids. In space, however, buoyancy effects are negligible due to the strong diminishment of gravity, resulting in the domination of…

Biomimetics for innovative and future-oriented space applications - A review

Elisabeth Banken, Johannes Oeffner · 7 Mar 2023

Nature benefits from a progressive evolution over millions of years, always adapting and finding individual solutions for common problems. Hence, a pool of diverse and efficient solutions exists that may be transferable to technical systems. Biomimetics or bio-inspiration has been used as a design approach for decades, revolutionizing products and processes throughout various industries. Thus,…

Advantages and challenges of novel materials for future space applications

Laura Pernigoni, Antonio Mattia Grande · 13 Sep 2023

In the last years space technologies have made giant leaps, increasing the feasibility of human exploration and colonization of other celestial bodies. The Moon and Mars have become appealing in these terms, but autonomy, adaptability and high reliability are inevitably needed in long-term missions. Furthermore, new generation spacecraft will have to face challenges related to…
