Innovating the Journey to Mars
summary
Research details: lab tests on biosuit layering for thermoregulation, structural design and stress-testing of Space Launch System segments, and configuration management for launch hardware. Demonstrations include MOXIE producing 122 grams of oxygen over ~16 runs, Ingenuity helicopter flights, and near‑100% HydroMars water purification. Plans and tools named: Gateway modules with ESA Lunar IHAB and Lunar Link, orbital launches from S‑range, and a roadmap aiming for lunar return by 2030. Emphasis is on design build test improve and moving toward liquefying to make rocket fuel.
