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 ...

Analysis of the Direct Shear Test and Microstructure of the Lunar Soil Simulant Solidified by Sodium Silicate [PDF]
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 ...
