Global leader in fueling humanity’s expansion into space by developing and producing regolith simulants for the Moon, Mars, and Asteroids. Based at Exolith Lab.
Why do we create moon dust simulants? 🚀🌔 (thread)
Here at Exolith, we produce Lunar Regolith Simulants AKA Moon Dust Simulants that replicate the physical, chemical, and mineral properties of Lunar Regolith.
Can chia grow on Mars? A high school researcher used our MGS-1 simulant to find out.
Short answer: not yet. Plants absorbed iron and aluminum at toxic levels, even with mycorrhizal fungi inoculation.

Can fungi survive on the Moon? Could mushrooms be a food source, or even a building material, in space?
Explore it with our Space Mushroom Grow Kit. Grow mushrooms in simulated lunar regolith and find out. https://t.co/xBz1blN5bD

Martian regolith is more than its physical properties; chemistry matters too.
Scientists at Pioneer Labs designed DMM, a new Martian simulant built exactly for that purpose.

Anyone want a glass of moon water? 👀
Chinese scientists have made an incredible discovery. The detection of molecular water within Lunar Regolith is crucial for future Lunar exploration and potential habitation. 🤩🌖🥤
#LunarRegolith#ChinaSpace#MoonExploration
Chinese scientists have identified a water-enriched mineral in a lunar sample retrieved by the Chang'e-5 probe in 2020. The research team states that this discovery marks the first direct detection of molecular water within the lunar regolith.#ChinaSpace
Thank you for celebrating #InternationalMoonDay with us, @UCF! 🌖💫
Check out this video sharing all about Space Resource Technologies and Exolith Lab, and our mission to further the future of space exploration with brilliant young minds!👩🚀
#SpaceU#SpaceExploration#MoonDay
Today is #InternationalMoonDay, and the 55th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing 🌕
To celebrate, here's a look at UCF's Exolith Lab and @SpaceResTech, which create high-fidelity regolith simulants based on samples collected from this historic space event 🚀
Wondering how we might build on Mars one day? 🤔
Check out how researchers in Turkey and Germany are experimenting with cold sintering and our Mars regolith simulant to answer that very question!🤩
#MarsExploration#SpaceExploration#ISRU#Simulant
We are super psyched to be partnering with you too @AstroLizsLab! We are excited for kids to be able to see what the moon feels like, and to be part of something that is inspiring future space explorers! 🌖🤩
#LunarRegolith#AstroLizsLab#Artemis
Super psyched to be partnering with @SpaceResTech this summer! Get your hands dirty with NASA grade lunar, Martian and asteroid regolith simulants! Start your own #moonfarm like mine or grab some #Artemis dust for your collection! 🚀🌑 20% off using code astroliz thru Sept!
Big news for the space industry! 🤩This groundbreaking achievement not only advances our understanding of the Moon but also paves the way for future deep-space missions. 👏

Congratulations on another remarkable achievement in China's space exploration and humanity’s space endeavor!
As the returner of the Chang'e-6 lunar probe touched down on Earth, the world's first samples collected from the moon's far side have been safely brought back.
