Functional Comparison of Lunar Regoliths and Their Simulants [PDF]
Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2013 AbstractLunar regolith simulants are essential to the development of technology for human exploration of the Moon. Any equipment that will interact with the surface environment must be tested with simulant to mitigate various risks, such as unexpected mechanical abrasion, chemical interactions, or thermal failures. To reduce the greatest amount of risk,

Simulation of the Lunar Regolith and Lunar-Penetrating Radar Data Processing
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2018 Lunar-penetrating radar (LPR) was conducted by the “Yutu” rover of China's Chang-E 3 lunar mission to study the shallow subsurface of the Moon. Both regolith modeling and numerical simulation can provide a reliable reference for data processing of the Moon.

Thermal Weathering of 3D-Printed Lunar Regolith Simulant Composites. [PDF]
ACS Appl Eng MaterThe production of lunar regolith composites is a promising venture, especially when enabled by extrusion-based additive manufacturing techniques such as direct ink write. However, both three-dimensional (3D) printing production and usage of polymer composites containing regolish on the lunar surface are challenges due to harsh environmental conditions ...

Shear Properties of Lunar Regolith Simulants
Procedia Engineering, 2014 AbstractThe accuracy of lunar regolith simulants for lunar drilling and sampling is mainly based on their particle shape and grain size distribution. To determine the grain-size distribution and shear strength parameters, grain-size distribution tests and conventional tri-axial compression experiments were conducted on the lunar regolith simulants.
