Abstract
The scarcity of lunar soil available for engineering investigations on Earth, in preparation for human return to the Moon, means lunar soil simulants must be used. It is imperative that we know the composition and mineralogy of these so as to better understand the processes under study. We have defined the bulk-chemical composition and mineralogy of three lunar soil simulants, and determined their validity for use in ISRU investigations.
