Abstract
Join us April 2 for a panel discussion on in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) technologies and the importance of flight testing to buy down risk. Harnessing and using resources found on the Moon, Mars, and beyond — rather than transporting them from Earth — is important to the success of future space missions. ISRU can help enable sustainable exploration by reducing launch costs, increasing mission duration, and improving self-sufficiency. In a discussion moderated by Flight Opportunities personnel, researchers who recently tested ISRU technologies on parabolic flights as well as the lead of the ISRU capability leadership team in NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate will identify best practices, lessons learned, and key insights for flight testing ISRU technologies.
