CM-E Carbonaceous Chondrite Simulant - Murchison-Type Asteroid Analog for Reactive & ISRU Research
What CM-E Carbonaceous Chondrite Simulant is A high-fidelity CM-type carbonaceous chondrite simulant modeled after the Murchison meteorite, engineered for mechanical, chemical, thermal, ISRU, and astrobiology research with volatile- and organics-rich asteroid material. What This Simulant Represents CM-E is a simulant designed to represent CM-type carbonaceous chondrite material, specifically modeled after the Murchison meteorite — one of the most extensively studied and organic-rich meteorites available. Carbonaceous chondrites of the CM class are known for: Abundant hydrated minerals High volatile content Organic compounds relevant to prebiotic chemistry Fine-grained matrices with complex reactive behavior CM-E captures these characteristics in a controlled terrestrial analog with particles up to 5 mm in size, enabling experiments where both mechanical and chemical responses are critical. Scientific Fidelity & Engineering Accuracy CM-E is engineered to approximate the ph
