Martian Regolith Simulants

Martian Regolith Simulants are specially crafted materials that mimic the soil found on Mars. Scientists create these to study how the planet's soil behaves, test equipment, and develop methods for future exploration and potential colonization. These simulants replicate properties like mineral composition, texture, and chemical makeup of Martian soil, enabling researchers to understand challenges such as plant growth, resource extraction, and construction in a Mars-like environment, all while working safely on Earth.
