Standard Mare Basalt Simulant (LMS-1E) - JSC-1A Lineage | Engineering & Bulk Testing Agglutinates Used by NASA and international

Used by NASA and international space agencies

Why this approach is useful:

MGS-1 has been used and cited in hundreds of peer-reviewed scientific publications

repeatable analog material for experiments where regolith properties directly influence outcomes

MGS-1C is engineered to replicate the physical and reactive characteristics associated with clay-rich Martian analogs:

Standard Mare Basalt Simulant (LMS-1E) - JSC-1A Lineage | Engineering & Bulk Testing Agglutinates Used by NASA and internationalWhat Lunar Mare Engineering Grade Simulant LMS 1E is A simplified basaltic lunar mare regolith simulant and successor to NASAs JSC 1A, engineered for mechanical, hardware, and bulk testing where consistent physical behavior is the primary design driver. What This Simulant Represents LMS 1E (Standard Mare Basalt Simulant) is the direct successor to NASAs JSC 1A lunar mare simulant, developed to fulfill the same engineering and testbed functions
