2010 - September Lunar Regolith Simulant User's Guide
This Technical Memorandum (TM) summarizes information on existing lunar regolith simulants. It focuses on primary characteristics of the simulants, which are the inherent properties of the material rather than their responses to behavioral (geomechanical, physiochemical, etc.) tests. This TM defines these inherent or primary properties to be particle composition, particle size distribution, particle shape distribution, and bulk density. When data allow, simulant properties are quantitatively compared to those of a lunar highlands regolith reference material by use of figure of merit (FoM) algorithms and software.
