In-situ resource utilisation (ISRU) is a burgeoning sector, with technologies that can enable exploration missions to the Moon and Mars. We’re excited to be leading a research project for the UK Space Agency to understand UK capabilities and how we can support development and utilisation of technology - including international opportunities and terrestrial applications.
If you are developing an ISRU technology or can offer insight, please:
Take the survey UK In-Situ Resource Utilisation (ISRU) Landscape
To access via QR code:
The UK has a strong ISRU sector, and the UK Space Agency wishes to understand the nation’s capabilities within the wider international context, capture technology gaps and options to overcome these, and identify potential contributions to international endeavours.
In addition to how technology can be applied to space exploration, Frazer-Nash’s research is expected to help the agency understand the complementary nature of these systems with technology and commercial use cases where capabilities could also be used for a non-space purpose.
Conor Hagan, Exploration Technology Manager at the UK Space Agency, said: “Frazer-Nash is leading an important piece of work for the agency that will support the understanding and evidence base for the UK’s future direction and activities in the realm of ISRU. We are eager to see the result of this work and encourage all organisations involved in this area to participate as comprehensively as possible.”
This survey is the first step in understanding the current landscape of UK ISRU activities and capabilities. The information provided in the survey will be treated sensitively and only shared with key UKSA personnel. This survey should take around 10 minutes.
Please note that the survey closes on 17 October 2025.
