摘要

Renewed recent interest in exploration of the Moon has spawned several planned missions by a range of space agencies, including the U.S., Russia, China, Japan, the EU, and Canada. The development of unmanned rover space missions that can successfully explore the lunar surface requires suitable regolith simulants that accurately represent the soils that exist on the Moon's surface, to enable scientific studies to be performed in terrestrial laboratories. A number of state-of-the-art simulants are now available for this purpose (e.g., CAS-1, JSC-1, OB-1, EAC-1, FJS-1, etc.), which have been matched to different applications on the basis of composition, specific gravity, particle size and shape, and other aspects. Early simulants utilized finely crushed or sorted granular basalts with slight surface weathering, but newer variants have employed more sophisticated compositions to better reproduce the surface chemistry and electrostatic behavior. What is currently absent from the literature are rigorous studies of the geomechanical properties of many of these materials. The main objective of this work was to provide high-quality data to better characterize the geomechanical performance of different simulants in states similar to those on the Moon. The results of basic characterization and mechanical property tests indicate that the simulants have similar mechanical responses to angular and rough soils found elsewhere in the geotechnical testing literature and have similar behaviour compared to the two well-known geotechnical benchmark soils.
