Terrestrial Laser Scanning of Lunar Soil Simulants. [PDF]
Materials (Basel), 2022 In the near future, permanent human settlements on the Moon will become increasingly realistic. It is very likely that the Moon will serve as a transit point for deep space exploration (e.g., to Mars). The key to human presence on the Moon is the ability to erect the necessary structures and habitats using locally available materials, such as lunar ...

Magnetic field coupling with lunar soil simulants [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Wireless power transfer (WPT) using magnetically coupled resonators is being integrated into space vehicles destined for the lunar surface. The dusty soil on the Moon, called lunar regolith, is known to adhere to surfaces and is also known to contain ...

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2022 The lunar soil is an ideal building material for future lunar base construction. In order to improve the strength of lunar soil, basalt with similar composition to lunar soil was used to simulate lunar soil due to lack of real lunar soil, and the ...

The density of the lunar surface soil [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research, 1968 Until the landing of the Surveyor 1 spacecraft on the moon, it had been inferred from earth-based optical, thermal, radio, and radar observations that the surface f the moon consisted of material of low-bulk density (less than 1 g/cm^3) and high porosity.

Updating “Intensity dataset acquired through laser scanning of lunar and Martian soil simulants” with additional lunar soil simulants specimens [PDF]
Data in Brief, 2023 Updated dataset based on the laser scanning of three specimens of lunar soil simulants representing highland regions (LHS-1, AGK-2010, CHENOBI) and three specimens of lunar soil simulants representing mare regions (LMS-1, JSC-1A, OPRL2N).

Estimation of Apollo lunar dust transport using optical extinction measurements [PDF]
, 2015 A technique to estimate mass erosion rate of surface soil during landing of the Apollo Lunar Module (LM) and total mass ejected due to the rocket plume interaction is proposed and tested. The erosion rate is proportional to the product of the second moment of the lofted particle size distribution N(D), and third moment of the normalized soil size ...

Compaction Self-Assembly of Ultralow-Binder-Content Thermoplastic Composites Based on Lunar Soil Simulant [PDF]
, 2020 In a recent study, we developed ultralow-binder-content (UBC) structural materials based on lunar soil simulant and thermoset binders. In the current research, we investigated thermoplastic binders. Compared to thermosets, advanced thermoplastics could be more UV resistant, more durable, more robust, and recyclable.

Simulation of Lunar Soil With Irregularly Shaped, Crushable Grains: Effects of Grain Shapes on the Mechanical Behaviors [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2019 One of the challenges to overcome in Moon mining operations, such as soil handling, drilling, excavation, and wheeled movement, is understanding the mechanical behaviors of lunar soil, which is composed of grains characterized by highly irregular shapes.
