Process to Produce Iron Nanoparticle Lunar Dust Simulant Composite [PDF]

open access: yes
A document discusses a method for producing nanophase iron lunar dust composite simulant by heating a mixture of carbon black and current lunar simulant types (mixed oxide including iron oxide) at a high temperature to reduce ionic iron into elemental ...

Development and mechanical properties of construction materials from lunar simulants [PDF]

open access: yes
The development of construction materials such as concrete from lunar soils without the use of water requires a different methodology than that used for conventional terrestrial concrete. Currently, this research involves two aspects: (1) liquefaction of

Measurements of thermal properties of icy Mars regolith analogs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In a series of laboratory experiments, we measure thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity, and heat capacity of icy regolith created by vapor deposition of water below its triple point and in a low pressure atmosphere.

Thermal Optical Properties of Lunar Dust Simulants and Their Constituents [PDF]

open access: yes
The total reflectance spectra of lunar simulant dusts (less than 20 micrometer particles) were measured in order to determine their integrated solar absorptance (alpha) and their thermal emittance (e) for the purpose of analyzing the effect of dust on ...

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 ...
