Lunar Highlands Simplified Regolith Simulant (LHS-1E) - Engineering & Bulk Testing

What Lunar Highlands Engineering Grade Simulant LHS-1E is A simplified lunar highlands regolith simulant engineered to deliver representative mechanical and bulk material behavior for engineering testing, hardware evaluation, and large-scale regolith systems. LHS-1E is used in large regolith bins and terramechanics testbeds for rover mobility and wheel–regolith interaction testing, including programs conducted at major lunar hardware test facilities. What This Simulant Represents LHS-1E is a simplified engineering variant of the Lunar Highlands Regolith Simulant (LHS-1). It retains key physical and mechanical characteristics relevant to engineering workflows—such as bulk density, particle size distribution, and geotechnical behavior—while omitting minor compositional constituents that are unnecessary for engineering and system-level testing. This material is ideally suited for hardware testing environments such as regolith test beds, analog bins, and robotics development arenas where
