Simulants at Mines - Space Resources Program
Regolith simulants are a staple of technology development and hardware testing for lunar, martian and asteroid applications. But are the simulants people produce and use actually appropriate for the tasks at hand?
Lunar regolith simulant - Wikipedia
Lunar regolith simulants are used by researchers who wish to research the materials handling, excavation, transportation, and uses of lunar regolith. Samples of actual lunar regolith are too scarce, and too small, for such research, and have been …

By replicating the mineralogical, chemical, and physical properties of regolith we ensure the utmost accuracy during testing. Simulating the Lunar Highlands, Lunar Mare, and Lunar South Pole regions, among other variants. Simulating the …
• Mare regolith is predominantly basalts, which is the basis for the JSC-1A simulant • Highland regolith (including the poles) is predominantly plagioclase, which is the basis for the NU-LHT-series and GreenSpar simulants • Plagioclase consists of sodium (Na) and calcium (Ca) components, but in varying ratios 7 Basic three-variable ...
Sintered or melted regolith for lunar construction: state-of-the …
2021年8月16日 · As more sophisticated trials are developed using prototype lunar equipment in a simulated lunar environment, simulants which accurately reproduce regolith geotechnical properties will be critical to assessing the suitability of …
Characterization of planetary regolith simulants for the research …
2023年9月26日 · Exolith Lab produces two main lunar regolith simulants that are designed to approximate the mineralogy and particle geometries of the lunar highlands and lunar mare regolith: LHS-1 (Figure 1A) simulates the lunar highlands, and LMS-1 …
Lunar soils, simulants and lunar construction materials: An overview
2022年8月1日 · Oshima and Kohyama are lunar soil simulants made in Japan that aim to mimic high-Ti mare lunar regolith samples and regolith samples between highlands and mare types, respectively. The former simulant includes Oshima lava base and the latter simulant includes Kohyama gabbro base as the source.
Magnetic field coupling with lunar soil simulants
2023年6月15日 · Wireless power transfer (WPT) using magnetically coupled resonators is being integrated into space vehicles destined for the lunar surface. The dusty soil on the Moon, called lunar regolith, is...
Radiation Dissipation Capacity of Lunar Regolith Simulants for ...
2024年10月10日 · This research provides valuable insights into the radiation dissipation capacity of lunar regolith simulants, emphasizing the significance of level of compaction of regolith with inter-layers for efficient radiation shielding for planetary construction. Get …
The reactivity of experimentally reduced lunar regolith simulants ...
2024年6月27日 · Lunar regolith simulants that mimic mature, reduced lunar regolith can be synthesized and used for reactivity studies. Reduced lunar simulants exhibit an increased ability to generate OH*, likely due to metallic iron.
