ISRU Plant Design and Deployment Strategy Under Uncertainty
Optimising the design of In-Situ Resource Utilisation (ISRU) plants and their deployment strategies for the lunar environment under uncertain parameters.
Overview
This project focuses on In-Situ Resource Utilisation (ISRU) on the Moon, optimising the design of lunar resource production plants and their deployment strategies. Both are studied under uncertain parameters in the lunar environment and in space operations.
The uncertainties considered include physical properties such as the particle sizes of the lunar soil and the availability of resources, as well as economic ones such as the demand for liquid oxygen on the Moon.
