Developing an Anorthositic Lunar Regolith Simulant
57th International Astronautical Congress, 2006We must increase our understanding of the regolith, as future human missions to both the Moon and Mars will rely on it for insitu resource utilization (ISRU) to produce fuel, water, and other life support and construction materials. ISRU will be more cost effective than shipping required materials from Earth.

Electrical stress and strain in lunar regolith simulants
Planetary and Space Science, 2011Abstract Experiments to entrain dust with electrostatic and fluid-dynamic forces result in particulate clouds of aggregates rather than individual dust grains. This is explained within the framework of Griffith-flaw theory regarding the comminution/breakage of weak solids.

Compressional wave velocities of a lunar regolith sample in a simulated lunar environment
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1982Ultrasonic compressional wave velocities have been measured in the laboratory for an Apollo 15 soil sample (15301, 38) under very low uniaxial stress and high vacuum conditions. The velocities measured range from 125 to 522 m/s. The velocities of the soil are stress dependent and are strongly affected by compaction history. Hertzian contact theory does

A Review of Geotechnical Properties of Lunar Regolith Simulants
Earth & Space 2006, 2006During preparations for the Apollo missions, regolith simulants were used for design, experiments and prototype development (e.g. the Lunar Roving Vehicle). The soils were not high-fidelity simulants, but were of great use during design and testing, leading to successful Apollo missions.

The Rheology of Lunar Regolith and its Simulants
Granular materials are composed of macroscopic solid particles with a discrete nature. Their complex particle interactions and structure lead to their observed material properties, complicating the prediction their behavior in various applications more difficult.openaire +2 more sources
