Book of Abstracts- Lunar Regolith Simulant Materials Workshop

quired to produce large volumes of appropriate vesicular
glassy materials in the laboratory, which would
significantly affect the mechanical properties and melting
characteristics of the lunar highland simulant. Otherwise,
the basic properties of the lunar highland root
simulant, JSC-3, should be similar to the chemistry,
grain size, average grain size distribution, and mixture
of lithic fragments, mineral fragments, and nonvesicular
glassy particles of a lunar highland regolith
soil, and, therefore, would be a good simulant for some
tests.
