Martian Explosives: In-Situ Synthesis for Mining Operations

The exploration and colonization of Mars require large-scale mining capability for the extraction of essential resources. Transporting explosives from Earth is economically unfeasible and represents significant safety risks. This document presents strategies for synthesizing explosives using available in-situ Martian resources (ISRU - In-Situ Resource Utilization), enabling sustainable mining operations on the red planet.
