Unipos website, lunar and planetary mimics (regolith-like materials) Exolith Lab The page of the planetary simulation substance of was added.

We are dealing with Exolith Lab's regolith-like materials for the development of In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) technology and hardware testing for lunar and planetary exploration.

The Center for Lunar and Asteroid Surface Science (CLASS) 's research institute dedicated to regolith, Exolith Lab, conducts pseudo-production and applied research of regolith.
The use of regolith-like materials based on planet samples from the Moon and Mars, developed in collaboration with NASA and Deep Space Industries, makes science, exploration, ISRU and engineering simulations low cost, rational and safe. It leads to what you can do.

Exolith Lab handles a wide variety of products. Please let us know your desired product name and model number when making inquiries.
