NEU-em: A lunar regolith simulant considering electromagnetic heating characteristics

open access: yesJournal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
Microwave melting of lunar soil is widely regarded as a highly promising technique for in situ construction on the lunar surface. To ensure the reliability of materials used in studies on microwave melting mechanisms, it is essential to develop a lunar ...

Simulating the lunar geomagnetic variations [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2002
The equivalent circuit method is used to simulate the lunar semidiurnal geomagnetic tides. Samples of observations of the lunar geomagnetic tide are also presented, derived from analyses of hourly values of the horizontal component of the magnetic field recorded at several observatories. These are compared to the results of the simulations at different

Hexapod Locomotion Across Structured and Unstructured Terrains: A Data‐Driven Review of Modeling, Control, and Validation

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The design of a hexapod is complex and requires integration between kinematic models, control systems, and sensing. Existing literature has reviewed these sub‐systems in isolation. Since 2021, there has been no review of the field despite significant advancements in soft soil, lunar traversal, and artificial intelligence.

Electrostatic Beneficiation of Lunar Simulant [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Electrostatic beneficiation of lunar regolith is a method allowing refinement of specific minerals in the material for processing on the moon. The use of tribocharging the regolith prior to separation was investigated on the lunar simulant MLS-I by ...

Rheology and Structure of Fe‐Mg‐Ca Enriched Silicate Melt: Benchmarking Viscosity Models for an Exotic Planetary Composition

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Silicate melt viscosity plays a pivotal role in the evolution of rocky bodies within the Solar System, exerting first‐order control on mantle differentiation and stratification, while dictating the metal‐silicate separation and the subsequent volcanic activity.

NASA Lunar Regolith Simulant Program [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Lunar regolith simulant production is absolutely critical to returning man to the Moon. Regolith simulant is used to test hardware exposed to the lunar surface environment, simulate health risks to astronauts, practice in situ resource utilization (ISRU)

Formation of Compact Aggregate Piles on a Surface Through Dissipation of Kinetic Energy Associated With Horizontal Motion

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Accumulation of dust on the Lunar and Martian surfaces plays a critical role in both surface evolution and human exploration efforts, limiting equipment lifetimes and obscuring optical surfaces. Yet, the underlying physics of surface soiling is still poorly understood.

Development of Standardized Lunar Regolith Simulant Materials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Lunar exploration requires studies using standardized testing procedures. Previous lunar simulants focused on physical aspects of the lunar regolith. Renewed lunar exploration requires standardized lunar regolith simulant (SLRS) materials that simulate ...

The Research on Lunar Soil Simulant Production System

open access: yes, 2011
Because the lunar soil is rarely, lunar soil simulant plays an important part in lunar exploration, development and utilization of lunar resources, to establish a lunar base research work. This paper presents a lunar soil simulant production system which
