Geotechnical Review of Existing Mars Soil Simulants for Surface Mobility
The purpose of this paper is to provide a thorough review of the currently available Mars soil simulants and to determine those with geotechnical properties most appropriate for vehicle mobility studies. Sourcing and processing are considered since full-scale studies require bulk quantities of material on the order of tens of tons. This review identifies the top three simulants with the highest fidelity to Mars wind drift soils. These are M90, ES-2, and ES-1. In addition, recommendations to guide the development of future Mars simulants are made.
