Lunar Waste Resource Recovery System (LWRRS): An Integrated Solution for In-Situ Lunar Waste Reutilization

This research proposes an innovative engineering framework for managing waste generated by human and robotic operations on the lunar surface. The Lunar Waste Resource Recovery System (LWRRS) utilizes a closed-loop recycling process, reducing the need for Earth-based resupply missions and enabling sustainable lunar presence. The dataset includes: System architecture diagrams. Mathematical models for mass and energy balance. Risk analysis and mitigation tables. Testing strategies for microgravity waste recovery. Performance metrics under lunar conditions. This study aligns with objectives outlined in NASA’s Artemis program and international lunar sustainability research. This record is intended for space systems engineers, planetary scientists, and mission planners seeking to address in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) challenges.
