ISRU Lunar Regolith Analyser Kit with Arduino Mega - Characterise Simulants
ISRU Lunar Regolith Analyser Kit with Arduino Mega - Characterise Simulants
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Step into planetary science by building a multi-sensor payload that mimics instruments on lunar landers, characterising colour, pH, conductivity, and spectral reflectance of regolith simulants for ISRU studies. You'll calibrate the sensor array to differentiate simulant types, just as a rover does before extracting resources.
What You'll Build
You will assemble a benchtop instrument that reads colour, electrical conductivity, pH, and 18-channel spectral data from lunar soil simulants, displays results on a TFT, and logs them to microSD. The final build can differentiate basaltic, highland, and mare simulant blends for ISRU feasibility testing.
What You'll Learn
- Calibrate TCS3200 for regolith colour classification
- Integrate TDS and pH sensors for water-extractable ion analysis
- Acquire 18-channel spectral data with AS7265x for mineral fingerprinting
- Log timestamped data via DS3231 and microSD for simulated survey runs
