The paper describes the development of a Polish lunar regolith analog AGK-2010, comparing its properties with the American analog CHENOBI. Key properties include grain-size distribution, bulk density, and mechanical parameters such as cohesion and inner friction angle. The analog was produced to reduce costs for lunar penetrator testing. The paper describes the development of a lunar regolith analog AGK-2010, which has similar properties to CHENOBI, a widely used analog. AGK-2010 was created as a cost-effective Polish alternative to lunar soil. It was tested in space research applications and is associated with a patent application. The paper references various Polish and international standards for soil testing.
