In Space Manufacturing - Recycling & Reuse (ISM-RnR)

NASA In-Space Manufacturing Recycling and Reuse project developed and demonstrated recycling and in-situ resource-manufacturing technologies for exploration missions, both in transit and on the surface. It aimed to reduce logistics demands associated with the current on-orbit supply model by recycling and reusing materials, lowering packaging, spares, and upmass needs for sustainable lunar and Mars missions.
