Lunar Regolith Simulant Feed System for a Hydrogen Reduction Reactor System [PDF]

, 2009
One of the goals of In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) on the moon is to produce oxygen from the lunar regolith which is present in the form of Ilmenite (FeTi03) and other compounds. A reliable and attainable method of extracting some of the oxygen from

Crop growth and viability of seeds on Mars and Moon soil simulants

Open Agriculture, 2019
If humans are going to establish a base on the Moon or on Mars they will have to grow their own crops. An option is to use Lunar and Martian regolith. These regoliths are not available for plant growth experiments, therefore NASA has developed regolith ...
