A Grain-Scale Study of Mojave Mars Simulant (MMS-1)

Abstract: Space exploration has attracted significant interest by government agencies and the scientific community in recent years in an attempt to explore possible scenarios of settling of facilities on the Moon and Mars surface. One of the important components in space exploration is related with the understanding of the geophysical and geotechnical characteristics of the surfaces of planets and their natural satellites and because of the limitation of available extra-terrestrial samples, many times researchers develo… Show more

“…Identifying sustainable strategies for creating a regolith-based matrix similar to terrestrial soil, where microorganisms and OM interact with mineral surfaces, is the key to sustain food productivity on Mars. In order to test the potential of Mars regolith simulants as a plant growth substrate, they have been characterized for mineralogical, physical, chemical, and hydraulic properties [7,[17][18][19][20], while no data are available on the potential stabilization of exogeneous OM by minerals, including iron (Fe) (oxyhydr)oxides, over time. Accruing OM in such a mineral matrix is of paramount importance for the survival of crops.…”
