Manufacturing Construction Materials on Mars: A feasibility study on the use of Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) for bulk manufacturing of a viable ISRU Mars construction material using regolith simulant

For economic, scientific and survival reasons, colonisation of other planets is proposed. Mars is the most suitable place to start. To start an early Martian colony, viable In-Situ Resource Utilisation (ISRU) methods of low energy consumption are required to manufacture strong bulk construction materials. Most other studies have used infeasible...
