Lunar soils, simulants and lunar construction materials: An overview
Advances in Space Research, 2022One of the hot subjects in space civil engineering is the research for establishing outposts on space bodies, starting with the Moon. This wide research topic mainly covers learning about ground conditions and soils of these extraterrestrial bodies, looking for means of using the soil in producing construction materials, designing structures ...

Lunar Soil Simulants- An Assessment
2019 9th International Conference on Recent Advances in Space Technologies (RAST), 2019In this study an assessment is done about lunar soil simulants. It is found that until now more than 40 simulants are produced in 9 countries. This procedure is a still ongoing one, after its start in the year 1990. The list of the simulants produced given in the paper is the most comprehensive one and it includes not only all of the types given in ...

Abstract:Two new lunar mare soil simulants, NAO‐2 and NAO‐3, have been created in National Astronomical Observatories (NAO), Chinese Academy of Sciences. These two simulants were produced from low‐titanium basalt and high‐titanium basalt respectively. The chemical composition, mineralogy, particle size distribution, density, angle of internal friction,

Abstract Lunar soil simulant is a geochemical reproduction of lunar regolith, and is needed for lunar science and engineering researches. This paper describes a new lunar soil simulant, CAS-1, prepared by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to support lunar orbiter, soft-landing mission and sample return missions of China’s Lunar Exploration Program ...

Production of lunar soil simulant in Turkey
2017 8th International Conference on Recent Advances in Space Technologies (RAST), 2017It is obvious that lunar structures will be constructed on lunar surface, and that the materials to be used are only lunar soil. That is why lunar soils has to be investigated thoroughly as to its physical, chemical and mechanical properties. Unfortunately there is not enough lunar rock or soil brought to Earth for being able to run these analyses. For

Important Considerations for Lunar Soil Simulants
Earth and Space 2010, 2010Lunar samples are not readily available for In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) studies, necessary for preparations for a return to the Moon with landers, robots, and astronauts. Lunar soil simulants have been produced as substitutes for the real thing; BUT how good are they? JSC-1 and 1A were produced only to approximate the geotechnical properties of

Lunar soil simulants alter macrophage survival and function
Journal of Applied Toxicology, 2019AbstractLunar regolith samples collected during previous Apollo missions were found to contain components that were established to be toxic to humans; however, the health effects due to inhalation of lunar soil as a whole are still unknown. Macrophages residing in the alveolar sacs of the lungs constitute one of the last lines of defense against ...

Properties of TJ-1 Lunar Soil Simulant
Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2012Tongji-1 lunar soil simulant (TJ-1 for short) was recently invented by Tongji University, China. It could be used to construct testing ground in the preparatory impact tests of lunar landers under the extremely adverse condition in the Earth environment, where the interaction pressure between lunar lander and lunar soil has the important effect on the ...
