Effect of TiO₂ on the Microstructure and Flexural Strength of Lunar Regolith Simulant

Crystals
Lunar regolith is the preferred material for lunar base construction using in situ resource utilization technology. The TiO2 variations in lunar regolith collected from different locations significantly impact its suitability as a construction material ...

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
