Rocket propellants from Martian resourcesIn order for extensive round trip travel to become feasible in terms of mass required in low Earth orbit, propellant manufacturing at Mars becomes essential.

Not only manned missions but also smaller unmanned missions such as sample return may benefit from this technology.
