Summary

This paper evaluates volatile loss during heating of lunar mare simulants and related compositions using DSC, TGA, and EGA. JSC-1A simulant shows overlap with fresh volcanic material. Etna ash is noted as a close match for water loss differences. Neutron powder diffraction indicates prolonged volatile fluxing effects beyond major degassing. This study investigates the thermal properties of lunar regolith simulants using a combination of experimental techniques and data analysis. The research focuses on understanding the behavior of these simulants under various thermal conditions, which is crucial for applications in space exploration and planetary science. The study highlights the importance of accurate thermal modeling and the role of different mineralogical components in influencing thermal properties. The findings contribute to the broader understanding of lunar regolith and its potential use in future space missions.
