Resources matter… fuel the future by joining the ESA Grand Challenge.

In-situ resource utilisation (ISRU) concerns the exploitation of the lunar or asteroid resources enabling the in-situ supply of materials needed for building habitats and potentially empowering human beings to perform activities in space. This activity might enable human life in extreme environments with limited resources.
