Standard Lunar Regolith Simulants for Space Resource Utilization Technologies Development: Effects of Materials Choices

Introduction: As NASA turns its exploration ambitions towards the Moon once again, the research and development of new technologies for lunar operations face the challenge of meeting the milestones of a fast-pace schedule, reminiscent of the 1960's Apollo program. While the lunar samples returned by the Apollo and Luna missions have revealed much about the Moon, these priceless materials exist ...

Dielectric Spectroscopy for Scientific and Resource Characterization of Lunar Regolith

Introduction: Dielectric spectroscopy (DS) can noninvasively detect electrical properties over a wide frequency range (1 mHz – 10 kHz) at depths ranging from 10s cm to 10s m. Electrical properties vary directly with density and mineralogy. Therefore, DS can determine the subsurface distribution of water ice, adsorbed water, ilmenite, and possibly Fe. Understanding the subsurface distribution of...
