The renaissance of Mars exploration that will commence with the arrivals next year of Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Pathfinder, coupled with the discovery of evidence of past microbial life, has created renewed interest in launching a Mars Sample Return (MSR) mission shortly after the turn of the century. Many flight modes and advanced technologies have been proposed to enhance the science return and performance, or to reduce the overall cost of MSR. One of these is In Situ Propellant Production (ISPP): making some or all of the propellant for the return journey at Mars, thus eliminating the need to carry it as dead weight on the outbound Earth-to-Mars leg. Several competing technologies have been proposed for recovering usable propellant constituents at Mars.
