The Lunar South Pole Simulant (LSP-2) replicates the regolith found at the South Pole of the Moon. This region of the Lunar surface is dominated by Anorthosite, with small amounts of basalt spread throughout. This simulant features a particle size distribution matching the Lunar Highlands region of the Moon up to a size of 2mm, with custom size distributions available upon request. LSP-2 is mineralogically, chemically, and geotechnically similar to actual Lunar Highlands regolith, making it ideal for scientific applications, research, and studies related to the NASA Artemis missions.
