Manufacturing High-Fidelity Lunar Agglutinate Simulants [PDF]

, 2010
The lunar regolith is very different from many naturally occurring material on Earth because it forms in the unique, impact-dominated environment of the lunar surface.

Organic matter responses to radiation under lunar conditions [PDF]

, 2016
Large bodies, such as the Moon, which have remained relatively unaltered for long periods of time have the potential to preserve a record of organic chemical processes from early in the history of the solar system. A record of volatiles and impactors may

Shock-treated Lunar Soil Simulant: Preliminary Assessment as a Construction Material [PDF]

In an effort to examine the feasibility of applying dynamic compaction techniques to fabricate construction materials from lunar regolith, preliminary explosive shock-loading experiments on lunar soil simulants were carried out.

Conceptual design of equipment to excavate and transport regolith from the lunar maria [PDF]

NASA hopes to have a manned lunar outpost completed by 2005. In order to establish the base, regolith must be excavated from the lunar surface. Regolith will be used as a source for life-supporting elements and as radiation shielding for the lunar ...

Development and Validation of a Model for Hydrogen Reduction of JSC-1A [PDF]

Hydrogen reduction of lunar regolith has been proposed as a viable technology for oxygen production on the moon. Hydrogen reduces FeO present in the lunar regolith to form metallic iron and water. The water may be electrolyzed to recycle the hydrogen and

Analysis of lunar regolith thermal energy storage [PDF]

The concept of using lunar regolith as a thermal energy storage medium was evaluated. The concept was examined by mathematically modeling the absorption and transfer of heat by the lunar regolith. Regolith thermal and physical properties were established

Figure of Merit Characteristics Compared to Engineering Parameters [PDF]

, 2008
Current NASA lunar architecture calls for permanent human habitation of the moon by the year 2020. Due to the expense of delivering materials into orbit, technologies are being developed to use lunar regolith for building and as a material resource for ...

Western oceanus procellarum as seen by c1xs on chandrayaan-1 [PDF]

, 2014
We present the analysis of an X-ray fluorescence (XRF) observation of the western part of Oceanus Procellarum on the Moon’s nearside made by the Chandrayaan-1 X-ray Spectrometer on 10th February 2009.

Determination of the Dynamic Angle of Repose of Lunar Regolith Simulants

Geosciences
The determination of the dynamic angle of repose (DAR) of lunar regolith simulants is essential for modeling material behavior during in situ resource utilization (ISRU) processes and lunar surface operations.
