Effect of sintering temperature on microstructure and mechanical properties of molded Martian and Lunar regolith [PDF]
Ceramics International, 2022 Cylindrical specimens of Martian and Lunar regolith simulants were molded using a salt water binder and sintered at various temperatures for comparing microstructure, mechanical properties and shrinkage. Material microstructure are reported using optical

Laser melting manufacturing of large elements of lunar regolith simulant for paving on the Moon
Scientific Reports, 2023 The next steps for the expansion of the human presence in the solar system will be taken on the Moon. However, due to the low lunar gravity, the suspended dust generated when lunar rovers move across the lunar soil is a significant risk for lunar ...

Dielectric properties and stratigraphy of regolith in the lunar South Pole-Aitken basin: Observations from the Lunar Penetrating Radar [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2022 We examine data obtained by the Lunar Penetrating Radar (LPR) onboard the Chang'E-4 (CE-4) mission to study the dielectric properties and stratigraphy of lunar regolith on the far side of the Moon.

The Dielectric Properties of Martian Regolith at the Tianwen‐1 Landing Site
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Mars' surface is characterized by a weathered layer of regolith and exposed rock exposures that are the results of long‐term geological processes. The Mars Rover Penetrating Radar (RoPeR) on board the Zhurong rover of China's first Mars mission (Tianwen ...

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 Bioregenerative life support systems (BLSS) are conceived of and developed so as to provide food sources for crewed missions to the Moon or Mars. The in situ resource utilization (ISRU) approach aims to reduce terrestrial input into a BLSS by using ...
