Why do we create moon dust simulants? 🚀🌔 (thread)
Here at Exolith, we produce Lunar Regolith Simulants AKA Moon Dust Simulants that replicate the physical, chemical, and mineral properties of Lunar Regolith.
Can chia grow on Mars? A high school researcher used our MGS-1 simulant to find out.
Short answer: not yet. Plants absorbed iron and aluminum at toxic levels, even with mycorrhizal fungi inoculation.

Can fungi survive on the Moon? Could mushrooms be a food source, or even a building material, in space?
Explore it with our Space Mushroom Grow Kit. Grow mushrooms in simulated lunar regolith and find out. spaceresourcetech.com/collec…

Martian regolith is more than its physical properties; chemistry matters too.
Scientists at Pioneer Labs designed DMM, a new Martian simulant built exactly for that purpose.

Anyone want a glass of moon water? 👀
Chinese scientists have made an incredible discovery. The detection of molecular water within Lunar Regolith is crucial for future Lunar exploration and potential habitation. 🤩🌖🥤
#LunarRegolith #ChinaSpace #MoonExploration
Chinese scientists have identified a water-enriched mineral in a lunar sample retrieved by the Chang'e-5 probe in 2020. The research team states that this discovery marks the first direct detection of molecular water within the lunar regolith.#ChinaSpace
Thank you for celebrating #InternationalMoonDay with us, @UCF! 🌖💫
