Extracted subset of in-space manufacturing activities resulting in pure substances or raw materials such as water, oxygen, hydrogen, propellants, helium-3 and metals. These fields are often commonly defined as ISRU or space resources, which can still fall under the definition of ISM as fabrication of raw material from mined resources.
