Verification of a virtual lunar regolith simulant

Frontiers in Space Technologies
Introduction: Physical regolith simulants are valuable tools for developing In-Situ Resource Utilisation hardware. However, using virtual models of regolith instead can reduce costs, limit exposure to hazardous materials, and offer a practical method of testing the effects of reduced gravity.Methods: We verify a virtual model of regolith as ...

Application of Collar Seals for Bearings in the Lunar Exploration Rover

Tribology Online, 2020
A lot of exploration missions have been planned for the moon, and lunar activity is likely to increase. The moon’s surface is covered by a great deal of dust, called regolith, and these particles can seriously damage mechanical components.

Collection and In Situ Analyses of Regolith Samples by the Mars 2020 Rover: Implications for Their Formation and Alteration History

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 2, February 2025.
Abstract The Perseverance rover has sampled mm‐size lithic fragments containing olivine likely from at least two source regions from the surface of an inactive megaripple surface, and fine‐grained material from the surface and to a depth of ∼4–6 cm. Some of the mm‐size grains lack a coherent diffraction pattern measured by PIXL, consistent with the ...
