Designing the bioproduction of Martian rocket propellant via a biotechnology-enabled in situ resource utilization strategy
N. S. Kruyer, M. J. Realff, et al.
This groundbreaking research conducted by Nicholas S. Kruyer, Matthew J. Realff, Wenting Sun, Caroline L. Genzale, and Pamela Peralta-Yahya proposes a revolutionary bio-ISRU strategy for Mars colonization. By utilizing cyanobacteria to transform Martian CO2 into rocket propellant and generating excess oxygen, this innovative approach addresses the challenges of returning humans to Earth.
