Summary

This paper discusses the use of lunar highlands simulant LHS-1 to replicate regolith stratigraphy and geotechnical properties for lunar infrastructure and ISRU activities. It highlights the correlation between G slope parameter and bulk density, and the reduction factor for scaling CPT measurements to lunar conditions. The paper discusses the development and testing of a new method for analyzing lunar surface data, with a focus on simulating and understanding the behavior of regolith under various conditions. The study includes experimental setups, data collection techniques, and analysis methods to improve the accuracy of lunar surface modeling. This paper investigates the use of lunar highlands regolith simulant LHS-1E for simulating lunar regolith profiles to inform infrastructure and ISRU activities. It reports CPT measurements on LHS-1 and compares them to Apollo 16 data. The study includes experiments on two-layer regolith columns and discusses reduction factors for lunar conditions. This paper discusses the geotechnical characterization of lunar regolith simulants for infrastructure and ISRU activities on the Moon. It evaluates simulants like LHS-1 and GRC-1/GRC-3, comparing
