Properties of Lunar Soil Simulant Manufactured in Japan
Abstract
Three types of lunar soil simulant were experimentally produced from volcanic rocks mined in Japan in order to provide useful environments for various function tests. First, a basic simulant was made from lava basalt, and later, advanced simulants were produced by blending crushed ilmenite and/or olivine with the basic simulant. Fundamental properties of the simulants including chemical composition, density, particle size distribution, and shear strength were measured and compared with those of actual lunar soil and other lunar soil simulants. In addition to these tests, thermal and electrostatic properties of the basic simulant were evaluated. On the basis of the test results, it was concluded that the major chemical composition and physical properties of lunar soil could be simulated to some extent by blending several terrestrial minerals.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
