Introduction

The future of space exploration depends on humanity’s ability to extract resources in space. In-situ resource utilisation (ISRU) will be key to supplying future explorers with food, shelter, energy, water and air. While ISRU is a futuristic concept, it has great potential for accelerating key technologies on Earth. 

This “Space Resources” Invitation to Tender will support teams to develop products and services on Earth today, which are relevant to future use in space.
