Lunar Highlands Simplified Regolith Simulant (LHS-2E) - Extended Particle Size | Engineering & Bulk Testing

What Lunar Highlands Engineering Grade Simulant LHS-2E is A simplified lunar highlands regolith simulant engineered for mechanical, hardware, and bulk testing with an extended particle size range up to 2 mm for enhanced realism in engineering and systems evaluation. What This Simulant Represents LHS-2E is a simplified engineering variant of the Lunar Highlands Regolith Simulant (LHS-2), designed to provide consistent physical behavior and mechanical interaction in testbeds, regolith bins, and prototype systems where bulk and geotechnical behavior matter most. Like LHS-2, LHS-2E includes a broad particle size distribution up to 2 mm, capturing coarser grains found in natural lunar highlands regolith. LHS-2E’s formulation retains the key mechanical characteristics of LHS-2 while focusing on engineering relevance rather than strict mineralogical or chemical fidelity. This makes LHS-2E ideal for environments where system performance and interaction with granular material are the primary ev
