      <image:title>Gallery - 2017  Lunar Exploration Analysis Group (LEAG) Conference</image:title>
      <image:caption>The past two days at the Lunar Exploration Analysis Group (LEAG) Conference in Baltimore, Maryland have been filled with great discussion on the advances in lunar technology and the upcoming missions to the Moon. One highlight of the event was meeting Apollo 17 astronaut, Harrison “Jack” Schmitt, pictured below with Vince Roux of Off Planet Research (OPR), Jonette Stecklein of NASA JSC, and Melissa Roth of OPR. Not only does Jack have the extraordinary experience of physically working with equipment in actual lunar regolith, he is committed to using his vast knowledge of the Moon to help others achieve mission success. It was exciting to hear his opinions on lunar regolith and what characteristics lunar regolith simulants might be able to better emulate for lunar technology testing. Vince and Melissa also presented this morning on the lunar regolith simulants OPR is creating and why high-quality, controlled simulants are necessary when testing lunar technology. Many subsequent discussions resulted from their presentation with representatives from Blue Origin, ESA, NASA, JPL, Astrobotic, and Honeybee Robotics to name a few. It is invaluable to have discussions with companies who are designing lunar technology regarding their needs for testing and how OPR’s services and high-quality simulants can help provide higher mission assurance. OPR looks forward to many more discussions over the next couple days as the LEAG conference transitions into the Back to the Moon conference.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Gallery - Lunar Lab</image:title>
      <image:caption>Off Planet Research recently received a shipment of over twenty tons of a rare type of basalt that is recognized as one of the best materials for creating simulated lowland lunar soil (called regolith). Lowland areas of the moon are the darker colored patches on the surface of the moon. While there are other labs that made lunar lowland simulants, many of those simulants have not always been properly controlled to maintain a high level of quality. Full-scale testing of lunar landers and rovers will require large simulations of the moon’s surface. Otherwise it is like trying to clean a small closet with a full size vacuum (not very effective). As production of both highland and lowland simulants continues, Off Planet Research will be the best source of lunar regolith simulants and an excellent place for moon-bound organizations to bring their landers and rovers for testing. Their current facility is located at Saint Martin’s University in Lacey, Washington.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Gallery - 2016  NASA’s Lunar Exploration and Analysis Group (LEAG) conference</image:title>
      <image:caption>Off Planet Research’s Vincent Roux and Melissa Roth will be speaking at NASA’s Lunar Exploration and Analysis Group (LEAG) conference in Columbia, Maryland this October. They will be briefing NASA, researchers, and space-based industry representatives on their progress toward building their climate controlled lunar surface simulation lab and the production of simulated lunar soils, which researchers call regolith. While other lunar regolith simulants have been produced in the past, the simulants produced by Off Planet Research are uniquely more moonlike due to their special production methods, equipment, and materials that replicate the natural process of regolith formation on the moon. Immediately after the conference, Vincent and Melissa will also be participating in the “Back to the Moon” workshop, discussing next steps to return to the moon with key government and industry representatives. The photo below shows Melissa and Vince presenting a poster last year at LEAG.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Simulants, Feedstocks, and Additives - Designation: OPRH2N, OPRH3N, &amp; OPRH4N</image:title>
      <image:caption>Name: Off Planet Research, Highland, Group 2, 3 &amp; 4, Non-Agglutinate These are general representative Highland regolith simulants for the near and far sides of the Moon. OPRH2N is modeled after the average samples of Highland regolith gathered during the Apollo 17 mission. OPRH2N 70% anorthosite and 30% basaltic cinder, OPRH3N is 80% anorthosite and 20% basaltic cinder, and OPRH4N is 90% anorthosite and 10% basaltic cinder. Agglutinates can be added upon request. The cohesion, particle size distribution, and geotechnical and terramechanical properties of this simulant are good approximations for Highland lunar regolith.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Simulants, Feedstocks, and Additives - Material: Ilmenite</image:title>
      <image:caption>Material: Ilmenite This is a titanium and iron based mineral that is also high in oxygen and is common in some lunar mare basalts. We crush, sift, and recombine the ilmenite before blending it into our simulants to assure it has the correct particle size distribution. We can customize the ilmenite content of our Mare simulants to meet the needs of our clients. Our standard high titanium Mare simulants have 14.4% ilmenite.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Name: Off Planet Research, Kind of Simulant, Agglutinates The agglutinate component of lunar regolith is critical for certain types of testing. Our simulated agglutinates are mechanically similar to lunar agglutinates. Agglutinates are formed by micrometeorite impacts into the lunar regolith, and are formed from the material in which they are found. The agglutinates included in our simulants are produced from their base simulant to better approximate lunar agglutinates.</image:caption>
