Products
SolSys has developed a range of products since it’s inception, starting with smaller deliveries of standard packages mainly to educational institutions, and these days having a particular focus on beneficiation-related technologies.
Our products are always based on synergies and spin-offs or spin-alongs with our research and development activities.
lunor hx-series simulants
LuNOR targets a simulant which is lithologically more accurate than traditional simulants. That is, i focuses on not just liberated minerals, but also complete rock types. In addition to this, the simulant is also geotechnically complex. Capturing both geotechnical and lithological aspects means that the LuNOR range is ideal for ISRU and regolith processing R&D.
HX-110 is out first simulant in the LuNOR range. It is a standard-fidelity Lunar Highlands simulant based on resources local to Norway and has a particular focus on reuse and a low environmental footprint.
SolSys Mining recently completed the first prototype batch of the HX-110 simulant, and samples are available on request. Please get in touch through the contact page. NOTE: HX-110 is a prototype batch and is only indicative of the final product. Changes to both mineralogy/elemental composition and PSD are to be expected.
LuNOR MX-series simulants
MX- is an upcoming simulant series in the LuNOR range. It is a standard-fidelity Lunar Mare simulant mainly based on resources local to Norway and the Nordics. Similar to the HX-series simulants for the Highlands, MX- has a particular focus on reuse and a low environmental footprint.
SolSys Mining is currently involved in a project to develop Lunar Mare simulants, co-funded by the Norwegian Space Agency.
baby hydroponics
Baby Hydroponics is SolSys Mining’s offering for hydroponics/regolith R&D. It was developed as a spin-off from an internal project where a hydroponics setup was required. These kits are developed and produced by SolSys Mining, using sustainable materials and additive manufacturing in order to lower the environmental footprint.
The Baby Hydroponics kits were bundled with various associated equipment such as pH and EC analysis tools, regolith simulant, nutrients, seeds and consumables where required. Educational institutions were the main users, were students were able to test out various plant types, light levels and nutrient mixes in their own projects.
