Claim Text:
1. A method for manufacturing physical assets for civil or industrial facilities on Moon, Mars or an asteroid, said method comprising: providing a kit of materials and apparatus on at least one of Moon, Mars or the asteroid comprising: a photovoltaic panel, an electrolyzer, a voltage transformer and a fuel cell based on a hydrogen/oxygen cycle; an excavator; a separator for ion bombardment comprising an ionizing electrode comprising a source of Po a mixer; and a reaction chamber equipped with a sample holder and at least two electrodes, aluminum powder, a mold for confinement of a reaction mixture and an electrical resistance as a trigger; photovoltaically generating electricity; extracting regolith from Moon, Mars or asteroid soil by excavation; electrostatically enriching, using the separator for ion bombardment, the Moon or asteroid regolith with ilmenite or magnetically enriching, using the field induced, the Mars regolith with iron oxides for obtaining enriched minerals; mixing the enriched minerals with an aluminum powder to obtain a mixture; inducing a self-propagating combustion reaction into the obtained mixture by thermal triggering using an electrical resistance to obtain physical assets of a size and a shape using a physical asset mold to define the size and the shape; and assembling the physical assets to build civil or industrial facilities.
