Lunar samples returned from the Apollo missions represent a wide range of geological materials and processes, and have been studied in considerable detail using a wide range of characterization techniques. In contrast, lunar regolith simulant materials lag far behind in source material matching, and generally have been utilized as engineering test materials with secondary emphasis on extensive supporting chemical and mineralogical analysis. Presented here is a brief roadmap of analytical characterization approaches coupled with a breakdown of lunar simulant requirements developed in the past and anticipated in support of upcoming NASA missions.
