This study explores the use of lunar regolith simulants in geopolymer products fabricated via cold sintering process (CSP). It examines the effects of water and alkali content on pore water distribution, reaction products, microstructure, and compressive strength. The CSP reduces water consumption and curing time compared to conventional methods. The paper discusses the development of lunar regolith simulants using a combination of basaltic and anorthositic materials to mimic the composition of the Moon's surface. The simulants were characterized using various analytical techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray fluorescence (XRF). The results showed that the simulants closely resembled the mineralogical and chemical composition of lunar regolith, making them suitable for use in lunar exploration and research. The study highlights the importance of accurate regolith simulants in understanding the behavior of lunar materials under different environmental conditions.
