Microtechnology has attractive applications for supporting space exploration and orbit-based research. For such missions, payload size and weight is of paramount importance for launch vehicles, orbital stations and interplanetary missions. An excellent example is the NASA Mars exploration missions, which will culminate in manned landings in 2011. We hope our microtechnology can produce fuel and oxygen from Martian atmospheric gases for NASA astronauts during their stay on Mars and the return trip home.
