Lunar soils, simulants and lunar construction materials: An overview

Advances in Space Research, 2022
One of the hot subjects in space civil engineering is the research for establishing outposts on space bodies, starting with the Moon. This wide research topic mainly covers learning about ground conditions and soils of these extraterrestrial bodies, looking for means of using the soil in producing construction materials, designing structures ...

Lunar Simulation

Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 1969
The purpose of this study was to examine the combined effects of simulated lunar environmental variables on human performance. A facility was developed to simulate the following aspects of the astronaut's lunar environment: confinement within a lunar shelter habitat with an oxygen-enriched atmosphere, high-risk vacuum, ⅙ g., lunar “terrain ...

WEATHERING OF LUNAR SIMULANTS

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1994
<div class="htmlview paragraph"><i>Conversion of lunar regolith into a plant growth medium is crucial to the development of a regenerative life support system for a lunar base. Simulants must be used to study weathering processes and to develop procedures for the conversion of lunar regolith into a suitable plant growth medium because of ...

The lunar module simulator

SIMULATION, 1970
The Lunar Module Simulators (LMS) in Houston and at Cape Kennedy are highly complex devices used for flight crew training and systems engineering evaluations to support the Apollo missions. Each of the two simulators consists of a three-machine digital computer complex, associated digital conversion electronics, a crew station that is

A navigation simulation system of lunar rover

2008 IEEE International Conference on Networking, Sensing and Control, 2008
This paper presents a navigation simulation system on lunar rover. With virtual reality technology, this system serves to verify the kinematics model and the validity of the planning-path for navigating lunar rover. Because the lunar terrain can not be treated as the 2D surface, the kinematics modeling of lunar rover unlike ordinary mobile robots needs

Development of icy regolith simulant for lunar permanently shadowed regions [PDF]

Advances in Space Research
The lunar poles are thought to contain vast ice deposits that could be beneficial to future space exploration efforts. However, it is not well characterized how water ice content affects regolith and dust physical properties. In order to develop suitable

A Lunar Surface Operations Simulator

2008
The Lunar Surface Operations Simulator (LSOS) is being developed to support planning and design of space missions to return astronauts to the moon. Vehicles, habitats, dynamic and physical processes and related environment systems are modeled and simulated in LSOS to assist in the visualization and design optimization of systems for lunar surface ...

Simulators for the Lunar Mission

The Journal of the Royal Aeronautical Society, 1967
This is the Age of Space Flight. Satellites orbiting the earth are the heralds of more spectacular demonstrations to come. “Man in earth orbit” is the prologue to manned missions in the alien environment of lunar space.Basically, the objectives of the US space programme are to:1.Expand human knowledge of atmosphere and space.2.Improve the use, speed ...
