Abstract

We have developed a simulant for the oxidized soil of Mars to support scientific research, engineering studies and education. JSC Mars-1 is the <1 mm size fraction of altered volcanic ash from a Hawaiian cinder cone. The simulant closely matches the reflectance spectrum and approximates the mineralogy, chemical composition, grain size, density, porosity and magnetic properties of Martian soil. JSC Mars-1 is currently available to qualified investigators and educators.
