Mars Jezero Delta Simulant (JEZ-1) - Research-Grade Martian Delta Soil Analog

What Jezero Delta Simulant JEZ-1 is A research-grade Martian regolith simulant engineered to represent the Jezero Crater delta region, informed by Perseverance rover science, for comprehensive physical, chemical, biological, and sensor research. What This Simulant Represents JEZ-1 is a Martian soil simulant designed to reflect the unique geology and mineralogy of the Jezero Crater delta, a key science target where past aqueous activity, clays, carbonates, and deltaic sediments have been identified. Unlike global Mars analogs, JEZ-1 incorporates insights from orbital spectroscopy and in-situ Perseverance rover measurements (e.g., PIXL, SHERLOC, SuperCam) to approximate the sedimentary, clay-rich, basaltic mixture speculated to characterize delta deposits. The material is engineered to behave like these regolith-like sediments under terrestrial test conditions. This simulant consists of particles <1 mm, mirroring fine-grained materials relevant for mechanical interaction, chemical rea
