Laboratories (CTL) 40 g of lunar soil. The award was made based on a CTL proposal to NASA that lunar soils and rocks could be used as concrete aggregates and as raw materials for manufactur-ing cement and water. These ingredients could then be used to produce concrete for the construction of lunar bases. This paper describes the first phase of the long-term investi-gation for the construction of concrete lunar bases. In this phase, petrographic and scanning electron microscope examinations showed that the morphology and elemental composition of the lunar soil made it suitable for use as a fine aggregate for concrete. Based on this finding, calcium aluminate cement and distilled water were mixed with the lunar soil to fabricate test _cimens....
