This study developed a high-fidelity lunar regolith simulant (GCD-2) matching Chang'e 6 samples. It synthesized Lunar regolith based geopolymer (LRG) using GCD-2 and sodium silicate. The study examined mechanical properties under extreme temperature cycling and elemental ratios. Multiscale characterization techniques were used to analyze microstructural evolution. Results showed optimal compressive strength at Ca/Si 0.35 and Al/Si 0.58. The provided text is a mix of technical content and metadata, likely from a scientific paper or research article. It includes references to authors, their contributions, and citations to other works. The main content appears to be about the study of lunar regolith (LRG) and its properties under cryogenic conditions, with a focus on phase assemblage, reaction kinetics, and pore structure degradation. The paper also discusses the use of techniques like NAD (Nitrogen Adsorption Desorption) analysis to study surface area, pore volume, and pore size distribution. The provided text appears to be a mix of technical data and metadata related to a document or article. It includes the following key elements: The provided text appears to be a list of image URL
