Magnetic field coupling with lunar soil simulants.

ABSTRACT: Wireless power transfer (WPT) using magnetically coupled resonators is being integrated into space vehicles destined for the lunar surface. The dusty soil on the Moon, called lunar regolith, is known to adhere to surfaces and is also known to contain iron, including iron oxides and metallic iron. Regolith samples are limited, and lunar soil simulants are commonly used in space science research for efforts in surface vehicle navigation, in-situ resource utilization, and power infrastructure. However, most simulants contain no metallic iron, and research involving electromagnetic field interactions with regolith would benefit from incorporating metallic iron into test samples. This work presents experimental results from tests using WPT with magnetically coupled resonators in the presence of
