Summary

This paper investigates the conversion of a basalt-based lunar regolith simulant into glass-ceramics through high-temperature melt-quenching and controlled heat treatment. The study reports mechanical properties and crystallization behavior of the resulting material, highlighting its potential for lunar construction. The paper discusses the development of glass-ceramics from lunar regolith simulant, focusing on the synthesis, microstructure, and mechanical properties of the material. The study highlights the potential of lunar regolith as a resource for in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) in future lunar missions. The authors also emphasize the importance of understanding the thermal and mechanical behavior of these materials under simulated lunar conditions.
