Lunar Constituent Mineral Samples - Component Analogs for Research & Calibration Asteroid Study water retentionWhat These Mineral Samples Represent Lunar constituent mineral samples are isolated, high purity minerals analogous to those found in lunar regolith, separated from bulk simulants or sourced to approximate lunar mineral classes observed in returned samples and remote sensing data. Each sample represents a distinct mineralogical component of lunar regolith (e. g., plagioclase, olivine, ilmenite, pyroxene) used to: Calibrate analytical instruments
