Regolith behavior under asteroid-level gravity conditions: low-velocity impact experiments
, 2018 The dusty regolith covering the surfaces of asteroids and planetary satellites differs in size, shape, and composition from terrestrial soil particles and is subject to very different environmental conditions.

The effects of lunar dust accumulation on the performance of photovoltaic arrays [PDF]
Lunar base activity, particularly rocket launch and landing, will suspend and transport lunar dust. From preliminary models, the resulting dust accumulation can be significant, even as far as 2 km from the source.

Microscopic observations of needle and soft-tissue simulant interactions [PDF]
, 2011 Currently, physicians have no means of correctly estimating the needle tip location during percutaneous needle insertion. A model of needle-tissue interaction that predicts the needle tip location would assist physicians in pre-operative planning and ...

Development of a mineralogically replicated Martian regolith simulant informed by Martian meteorites
Cleaner MaterialsMartian regolith simulants play a critical role in scientific research, payload testing, and in situ resource utilization (ISRU) experiments. However, the absence of actual Martian soil samples limits the accuracy of current simulants in replicating the ...

Differential thermal analysis of lunar soil simulant [PDF]
Differential thermal analysis of a lunar soil simulant, 'Minnesota Lunar Simulant-1' (MLS-1) was performed. The MLS-1 was tested in as-received form (in glass form) and with another silica.
