Description:
|
Humanity is beginning its quest to return to the Moon. The focus is not just on returning to the Moon, but on creating permanent settlements. This endeavor will require numerous new strategies in order to succeed. One strategy that is being closely examined is In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) or using resources on the Moon to support these activities. The potential savings of ISRU is unknown since the concept remains in the early stages of development. This report introduces and describes the FERTILE Moon Model as a possible aid to those wishing to examine the poptential of ISRU.
