Regolith Simulator

The Regolith Simulator is a computer program that models the behavior of loose surface material, or regolith, found on celestial bodies like the Moon or Mars. It helps scientists and engineers understand how this material responds to forces such as landing, drilling, or excavating. By simulating factors like grain interactions and stability, the simulator aids in designing safer landings, construction, and exploration strategies, reducing risks and improving mission success. Essentially, it provides a virtual testing ground to predict how regolith will behave in different scenarios without the need for costly real-world experiments.
