Abstract

Abstract:Two new lunar mare soil simulants, NAO‐2 and NAO‐3, have been created in National Astronomical Observatories (NAO), Chinese Academy of Sciences. These two simulants were produced from low‐titanium basalt and high‐titanium basalt respectively. The chemical composition, mineralogy, particle size distribution, density, angle of internal friction, and cohesion of both simulants have been analyzed, indicating that some characteristics of NAO‐2 and NAO‐3 are similar to those of Apollo 14 and Apollo 11 landing site soils. NAO‐2 and NAO‐3 will be of great benefit to the scientific and engineering research on lunar soil.
