The terrain and soil at the test sites are similar to that of the moon, and the volcanic ash deposits, called tephra, have a mineral composition and range of particle sizes similar to that of lunar regolith.

RESOLVE on the Artemis Jr. rover performing small-scale oxygen extraction from a layer of regolith found on the volcanic deposits, just as it could with regolith found on the moon.
