Lunar Highlands 25% Agglutinated Simulant (LHS-1-25A) is a higher-fidelity variation of LHS-1 and is a mineral-based simulant appropriate for a generic or average highlands location on the Moon. With intermediate regolith maturity - it speaks to the integrated exposure the regolith had to the micrometeorite and solar wind environment.
The simulant consists of 75% LHS-1 Lunar Highlands Simulant and 25% Anorthosite Agglutinates, by weight. The addition of agglutinates increases fidelity of LHS-1 in terms of glass composition, magnetic properties, and mechanical properties. These agglutinates are produced from high temperature anorthosite. This glass content is important for mimicking the Lunar surface since it has a large glass content formed from meteor impacts. Exclusively Anorthosite Agglutinates are also available for sale on our site here.
