Lunar Mare Regolith Simulant (LMS-2) - Extended Particle Size | Research & Engineering Testing
What Lunar Mare Simulant LMS-2 is A research-grade lunar mare regolith simulant engineered to replicate the physical, chemical, and mechanical behavior of lunar mare surface material, with an extended particle size distribution up to 2 mm for enhanced analog realism. What This Simulant Represents LMS-2 represents lunar mare regolith using the same scientific foundation as LMS-1 but with an extended particle size range that captures coarser grains found in natural lunar surface materials. While LMS-1 includes particles up to 1 mm, LMS-2’s distribution extends up to 2 mm, reflecting the broader grain size range observed in actual mare soils. The simulant is informed by returned Apollo sample data, orbital spectroscopy, and peer-reviewed lunar science. Terrestrial minerals are combined in precise proportions to reflect mare regolith mineralogy, density, particle size distribution, chemistry, and mechanical behavior under laboratory and engineering test conditions.
