The paper discusses properties of lunar soil simulant JSC-1, focusing on composition, structure, density, and thermal properties. It includes experimental methods such as thermal analysis, gas flow, and mass transport studies. The paper discusses the properties of lunar soil simulant JSC-1, developed by Johnson Space Center. It is produced from a basaltic pyroelastic sheet deposit in Arizona and is intended as a terrestrial analog for lunar soil. The paper assesses its composition, structure, texture, and density as a close analog for lunar regolith.
These are the records this paper contributes to the simulant, returned sample, method, and property browsers.
