The importance of Phobos simulants: a review on our current knowledge
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023 Phobos, a satellite of Mars, was successfully studied by flyby, orbiter, and landing missions to the Red Planet, but several questions remain about its origin, composition, and relationship to Mars.

Efficient Haptic Rendering of Regolith [PDF]
2021 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2021 Driven by the need for physically accurate and haptically convincing models of lunar and planetary regolith for model-mediated teleoperation in space, we present an approach to modelling regolith in an efficient yet realistic way. Model parameters are derived from physical characteristics of the regolith, to render regoliths with different density ...

Making parts on Mars: Laser processing of iron contaminated by regolith simulant
Materials Today AdvancesManufacturing pure metals on Mars is challenging due to limited energy resources and unavoidable contamination of raw materials and production equipment with the Martian dust (regolith) resulting in impure materials.

Vapor Deposits in the Lunar Regolith [PDF]
Science, 1994 Since the Apollo missions, we have emphasized the following points, which are based on theoretical calculations and on laboratory studies of the properties of evaporated silicate deposits and of lunar samples. The mass of vapor generated by impacts on the lunar surface is comparable in magnitude to the mass of impact melt glasses; the physics of impact

Structure and Formation Mechanism of Lunar Regolith
Space: Science & TechnologyLunar regolith is a thin layer of weakly cohesive detrital materials covering the lunar surface. Studies on returned lunar samples have revealed that the lunar regolith mainly consists of fragments of rocks, minerals, breccia, glasses, and agglutinates ...

Effect of Target Properties on Regolith Production
Remote SensingBased on the measurements of regolith thicknesses on the lunar maria (basalts), the lunar regolith was determined to have accumulated at a rate of about 1 m/Gyr since the era of the late heavy bombardment.
