A study of future lunar seismology and heat flow is being carried out as part of the NASA Lunar Sortie Science Program [1].This study will include new lunar drilling techniques, using a regolith simulant, for emplacement of instruments. Previous lunar simulants, such as JSC-I and MLS-l, were not available when the study began, so a local simulant source was required. Diabase from a quarry at Leesburg, Virginia, was obtained from the Luck Stone Corporation. We report here initial results of a petrographic examination of this rock, GSC-1 henceforth.
