“This marks the first-ever production of oxygen at full scale from lunar soil simulant in a vacuum environment ... The LR-1 system employs molten regolith electrolysis (MRE), a high-temperature ...

It started growing in popularity as a lunar regolith simulant in the early 2000s due to its chemical and mineral composition similarity to basaltic rocks found on the moon itself. BPY has already ...

Interlune has won a Texas state grant of up to $4.84 million to open a center of excellence that would focus on lunar regolith simulant.

And now, a new study based on lunar regolith simulant experiments suggests that if these moon-dust bricks crack, bacteria could be used to seal them back up. Using as many local lunar resources as ...

By creating solar cells from simulated moon dust, scientists may have found a solution to the problem of producing dependable ...

Interlune will get up to $4.8 million to create a Lunar Regolith Simulant Center of Excellence at the Texas A&M University Space Institute at Johnson Space Center. The center will include labs ...

Egnaczyk, acknowledging his collaborators, William Hartt and Jake George, explained, “We currently have four different compositions of lunar regolith simulant cements on the station. When they are ...

ICON's next generation Vulcan construction system 3D printing a simulated Mars habitat for NASA's Crew Health and Performance Exploration ...

They'll incorporate abrasion testing and introduce a simulant for lunar regolith, the loose material that makes up the moon's surface, into the chamber for the first time. "We've built space ...
