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

open access: yes, 2010
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 ...

Planetary Soil Simulant Characterisation: NU-LHT-2M Study Case to Support Oxygen Extraction Lab Tests with a Low-Temperature Carbothermal Process

open access: yesAerospace
Since the landing on the lunar surface, the lunar regolith has begun to interact in different ways with landed elements, such as the wheels of a rover, astronaut suits, drills, and plants for extracting oxygen or manufacturing objects.

Venting and Outgassing Simulations of Pressurized Lunar Modules: Contamination of the Lunar Environment

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Abstract One objective of Artemis science is to determine the impact human activities have on the lunar environment, which might compromise science objectives and measurements. We perform a preliminary analysis of the contamination associated with airlock venting and outgassing from a prototype lunar module ...

Effects of wheel width on running performance of four-wheeled small lunar rover

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu
As future lunar habitation plans progress, the importance of landing-based exploration is increasing. Small lunar rovers are considered effective for such missions due to their low deployment risk and cost. However, these rovers are prone to slippage and

Lunar meteorite regolith breccias: an in situ study of impact melt composition using LA-ICP-MS with implications for the composition of the lunar crust [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Dar al Gani (DaG) 400, Meteorite Hills (MET) 01210, Pecora Escarpment (PCA) 02007, and MacAlpine Hills (MAC) 88104/88105 are lunar regolith breccia meteorites that provide sampling of the lunar surface from regions of the Moon that were not visited by ...

Boosting the Mechanical and Thermal Properties of CUG-1A Lunar Regolith Simulant by Spark Plasma Sintering

open access: yesCrystals
The mechanical and thermal properties of the fabricated structures composed of lunar regolith are of great interest due to the urgent demand for in situ construction and manufacturing on the Moon for sustainable human habitation.

Laboratory simulation of the lunar magnetosphere

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 1977
The magnetic field disturbance created by the impingement of a supermagnetosonic collision‐free plasma upon a hollow, electrically nonconducting body (lunella) has been studied in the laboratory using a plasma accelerator. Diamagnetic currents on the boundary of the downstream cavity which is formed are the source of these disturbances which fringe out
