Macroscopic investigation of the mechanical properties of compacted and thermally-treated martian regolith simulant (MMS1 and MMS2).

The research under this theme complements ideally the work done in other themes, as we target to macroscopically determine the mechanical properties of compacted martian regolith simulant (MMS1 and MMS2) treated thermally. The study will involve also any anisotropic behaviour of MMS1 and MMS2 bricks in flexure.
