Effects of Microbial Fertilizers on the Properties of Simulated Lunar Soil and Lettuce Growth [PDF]

Plants
The lunar surface soil (regolith) represents a potential substrate for crop cultivation in future extraterrestrial bases. However, the absence of indigenous microbial activity severely limits nutrient availability in lunar soil.

Implantation of Earth's Atmospheric Ions Into the Nearside and Farside Lunar Soil: Implications to Geodynamo Evolution

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020
Earth's present dipolar magnetic field extends into the interplanetary space and interacts with the solar wind, forming a magnetosphere filled up with charged particles mostly originating from the Earth's atmosphere.

Analysis of the Direct Shear Test and Microstructure of the Lunar Soil Simulant Solidified by Sodium Silicate

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 ...

Inversion of thermal properties of lunar soil from penetration heat of projectile using a 2D axisymmetric model and optimized PSO algorithm

Frontiers in Materials, 2022
The thermophysical parameters of lunar soil can be inferred from the temperature field during the invasion process of reconnaissance projectile. This paper adopts a two-dimensional axisymmetric model to reconstruct the projectile invasion process.
