Mars Global (MGS-1) High-Fidelity Martian Regolith Simulant

  Mars Global Simulant (MGS-1) is a mineralogical standard analog based on data collected from the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover. MGS-1 is made by sourcing a spectrum of terrestrial minerals, then mixed together in specific proportions to generally replicate the Martian surface. This is in contrast to previous Mars simulants that were typically sourced from a single terrestrial deposit (basalt or palagonite).  Modified versions include MGS-1S Sulfate ISRU and MGS-1C Clay ISRU, specifically designed for water extraction applications. The root MGS-1 simulant is appropriate to test water extraction from bulk regolith. All of our Martian simulants are a high-fidelity alternative to the more commonly known JSC MARS-1.   For information on Mineralogy, bulk chemistry, geotechnical properties, please see below: Spec Sheet*        SDS        Citation        Constituent Report *Previous spec sheets and data for past regolith simulant batches can be found at bottom of page.
