Mojave Martian Simulant: a New Martian Soil Simulant

Introduction: The development of the next generation of Martian missions requires a suitable simulant that best represents dust and soils that exists on the Martian surface so engineering and scientific studies can be preformed in terrestrial laboratories. The current Mars simulant of choice is JSC MARS-1 soil simulant, developed in 1998, which is the <1mm size fraction of altered volcanic ash ...

Development of Standardized Lunar Regolith Simulant Materials

The effects of the exopolysaccharide and growth rate on the morphogenesis of the terrestrial filamentous cyanobacterium Nostoc flagelliforme

The terrestrial cyanobacterium Nostoc flagelliforme, which contributes to carbon and nitrogen supplies in arid and semi-arid regions, adopts a filamentous colony form. Owing to its herbal and dietary values, this species has been overexploited. Largely due to the lack of understanding on its morphogenesis, artificial cultivation has not been achieved. Additionally, it may serve as a useful mode...
