Evaluation of drilling-based water extraction methods for Martian ISRU from mid-latitude ice resources
Abstract
Abstract Mid-latitude shallow ice deposits are an abundant feature in Utopia Planitia confirmed by SHARAD georadar. Thick ice-rich subsurface makes establishing a temporal or permanent human presence on Mars more likely because water is within reach of existing sampling technologies and conceptual production mechanisms. Although such technologies have been studied, a comparison method is needed to quantify their projected results. Herein the paper presents geological and thermal model of icy regolith created to measure water sampling and production efficiency. Various regolith and volatile sampling systems are standardized and compared using efficiency factor e. For production purposes, heat transfer is studied for down-hole and beamed energy sources, seeking for an effective heating radius for ice sublimation. Paper concludes with the chosen system for Martian subsurface water acquisition.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
