Apollo-traceable simulant for oxygen- and metal-extraction research that needs documented mineralogical fidelity.
Molten regolith electrolysis, hydrogen reduction and carbothermal routes are all sensitive to feedstock mineralogy and oxide content. Yields and reactor behaviour measured on a poorly characterized 'simulant' don't translate to flight hardware, and academic publication or grant funding demands a feedstock traceable to a real lunar reference. Sourcing Highland and Mare analogues from different vendors with inconsistent characterization undermines comparability across studies. The problem is a process-representative feedstock with documented mineralogical fidelity, available consistently for both terrains.
Regolithia reproduces its Apollo reference soils at phase match 96.4 % for RGS-H1 (Apollo 16 soil 64501) and 99.2 % for RGS-M1 (Apollo 17 soil 72501) under a single characterization stack, with every modelled phase and every oxide reported against its target value to support publication and grant-funded work. Alternative size fractions can be produced on request for the extraction route under study. Because the same quality system covers both terrains, process yields are comparable Highland-to-Mare and defensible in funding and design reviews. Custom development extends to south-pole and crater-specific compositions as ISRU site studies mature.
