Effects of Microbial Fertilizers on the Properties of Simulated Lunar Soil and Lettuce Growth [PDF]
PlantsThe lunar surface soil (regolith) represents a potential substrate for crop cultivation in future extraterrestrial bases. However, the absence of indigenous microbial activity severely limits nutrient availability in lunar soil.

Biomining of lunar regolith simulant EAC-1 A with the fungus Penicillium simplicissimum [PDF]
Fungal Biology and BiotechnologyBackground On a future lunar habitat, acquiring needed resources in situ will inevitably come from the Lunar regolith. Biomining, i.e. the use of microorganisms to extract metals from the regolith, is sustainable and energy-efficient, making it highly ...

Terrestrial Laser Scanning of Lunar Soil Simulants
Materials, 2022 In the near future, permanent human settlements on the Moon will become increasingly realistic. It is very likely that the Moon will serve as a transit point for deep space exploration (e.g., to Mars). The key to human presence on the Moon is the ability to erect the necessary structures and habitats using locally available materials, such as lunar ...

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2022 The lunar soil is an ideal building material for future lunar base construction. In order to improve the strength of lunar soil, basalt with similar composition to lunar soil was used to simulate lunar soil due to lack of real lunar soil, and the ...

Magnetic field coupling with lunar soil simulants
Scientific Reports, 2023 AbstractWireless power transfer (WPT) using magnetically coupled resonators is being integrated into space vehicles destined for the lunar surface. The dusty soil on the Moon, called lunar regolith, is known to adhere to surfaces and is also known to contain iron, including iron oxides and metallic iron.
