Lunar Highlands Agglutinated Regolith Simulant (LHS-1-25A) - Full-Fidelity Impact-Mature Analog

What Lunar Highlands Agglutinated Simulant is A full-fidelity lunar highlands regolith simulant combining LHS-1 with anorthosite agglutinates to represent impact-mature lunar soil for physical, chemical, biological, and thermal processing studies. What This Simulant Represents LHS-1-25A represents impact-mature lunar highlands regolith by combining the base Lunar Highlands Simulant (LHS-1) with a controlled fraction of anorthosite agglutinates - welded, glass-bearing particles formed by micrometeoroid impacts on the lunar surface. On the Moon, agglutinates are a defining feature of mature lunar soils and strongly influence mechanical behavior, surface chemistry, optical properties, and thermal response. By incorporating agglutinates directly into the LHS-1 matrix, LHS-1-25A provides a complete regolith analog that more closely reflects the structure and behavior of natural lunar highlands soil than non-agglutinated simulants. This material is designed to behave like real lunar regolith
