As NASA embarks on a new phase of Space Exploration aiming at establishing a long- term human presence on the Moon and Mars, we face some immediate challenges in the development of tbe technologies that will take us there. Among these challenges, the lack of accepted reference materials that simulate the lunar soil and regolith is a significant one that must be addressed now. The workshop organized today focuses on defining these materials for the use of NASA and other organizations involved in research and development efforts of lunar technologies. The range of these technologies is vast and so is the variety of lunar materials. The gathering of experts from a large number of disciplines is a pre-requisite to achieve a credible consensus on this issue and be able to make the right recommendations for NASA management as they consider solutions to the development and usage of these specific materials.
