Measurement of Simulated Lunar Soil Information Using Rutting Images [PDF]
IEEE Access, 2020 Research on lunar soil has great value, and soil hardness is one of the essential parameters to be measured. Currently, the existing method involves contact measurement using special instruments. To reduce the self-weight and increase the scientific payloads of lunar rovers, a reanalysis of the data obtained from existing sensors provides a great ...

Geopolymers from lunar and Martian soil simulants [PDF]
Advances in Space Research, 2017 Abstract This work discusses the geopolymerization of lunar dust simulant JSC LUNAR-1A and Martian dust simulant JSC MARS-1A. The geopolymerization of JSC LUNAR-1A occurs easily and produces a hard, rock-like, material. The geopolymerization of JSC MARS-1A requires milling to reduce the particle size.

Can plants grow on Mars and the moon: a growth experiment on Mars and moon soil simulants. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 When humans will settle on the moon or Mars they will have to eat there. Food may be flown in. An alternative could be to cultivate plants at the site itself, preferably in native soils.
