Compaction trial on lunar regolith simulant

NASA’s Artemis program involves inhabiting the Moon’s south pole, which consists of lunar highlands regolith. For successful long-term habitation on the Moon, resilient infrastructure built on lunar regolith will be required. Therefore, it will be essential that the geotechnical characteristics of lunar regolith are quantified and improved, where ...

Development and characterization of a regional lunar soil simulant for emirates lunar missions

International Journal of Mining Science and Technology
Lunar soil simulants (LSS) have been pivotal in the success of past and current lunar missions. They have enhanced the design of lander and rover wheels through interaction studies on the lunar testbed under simulated environmental conditions.

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 ...

Resource-Constrained 3D Volume Estimation of Lunar Regolith Particles from 2D Imagery for In Situ Dust Characterization in a Lunar Payload

Remote Sensing
Future lunar exploration will depend on a clearer understanding of regolith behavior, as underscored by adhesion issues observed during Apollo. The Lunaris Payload, a compact instrument developed in Poland, targets in situ assessment of lunar regolith ...

Artificial Space Weathering to Mimic Solar Wind Enhances the Toxicity of Lunar Dust Simulants in Human Lung Cells

GeoHealth
During NASA's Apollo missions, inhalation of dust particles from lunar regolith was identified as a potential occupational hazard for astronauts. These fine particles adhered tightly to spacesuits and were unavoidably brought into the living areas of the
