Towards the colonization of Mars by in-situ resource utilization: Slip cast ceramics from Martian soil simulant.

Here we demonstrate that by applying exclusively Martian resources a processing route involving suspensions of mineral particles called slurries or slips can be established for manufacturing ceramics on Mars. We developed water-based slurries without the use of additives that had a 51 wt. % solid lo...
