The development of surface technologies for NASA's human and robotic lunar program beyond 2010 has begun. The multitude of projects underway and future ones will soon rely on the availability of lunar regolith simulant materials chosen to simulate the characteristics of lunar regoliths in order to design, test and qualify prototype hardware and flight equipment. The selection and development of standard lunar regolith simulants (SLRS) for the use of NASA technology programs was one of the main recommendations of the 2005 Workshop on Lunar Regolith Simulant Materials at Marshall Space Flight Center. The realization of that objective is now underway through the NASA simulant development program at the Marshall Space Flight Center. The approach adopted to define materials requirements for standard simulants of regolith from the Highlands regions of the Moon will be presented along with a discussion of limitations inherent to such an endeavor.
