 **KB connections:**
 - [[the 30-year space economy attractor state is a cislunar industrial system with propellant networks lunar ISRU orbital manufacturing and partial life support closure]] — LUPEX is relevant to the ISRU prerequisite
 - [[water is the strategic keystone resource of the cislunar economy because it simultaneously serves as propellant life support radiation shielding and thermal management]] — LUPEX characterizes the most important cislunar resource
-- [[closed-loop life support is the binding constraint on permanent human presence beyond LEO because no system has achieved greater than 90 percent water or oxygen recycling outside of controlled terrestrial tests]] — water ice at the south pole is the supply-side input to this constraint

 **Extraction hints:**
 1. "LUPEX provides an independent lunar water ice characterization path resilient to US launch vehicle failures" — but this needs careful scoping. LUPEX is characterization (mapping), not extraction (ISRU demo). Don't overstate.
