The Regolith Bin at UCF's Exolith Lab

UCF’s Exolith Lab is home to the world’s largest simulated lunar surface with its new Regolith Bin. The new research and testing facility allows space companies, scientists, faculty and students to test how moon dust interacts with hardware that powers space missions. The Regolith Bin is 10 meters by 10 meters and is filled with 120 tons of lunar highland simulant soil, replicating the moon's south pole - which is where NASA’s Artemis program aims to develop a sustainable presence.
