Abstract

We report results from an experiment on high-pressure compaction of lunar soil simulant (LSS) mixed with 2–5 wt% polymer binder. The LSS grains can be strongly held together, forming an inorganic-organic monolith (IOM) with the flexural strength around 30–40 MPa. The compaction pressure, the number of loadings, the binder content, and the compaction duration are important factors. The LSS-based IOM remains strong from −200 °C to 130 °C, and is quite gas permeable.
