Abstract: The surface feature of Mars, the chemical components, mechanical properties, grain sizes and their distribution of Martian regolith are introduced based the success of rover missions on Mars. The mechanical properties of some simulant Martian regolith used in the world are compared and analyzed. Then, three grain size distributions of simulant Martian regolith are proposed and the terra-mechanics characters, such as cohesion and internal friction angle, are measured. Results show that the cohesion ranges from 0 to 0.316 kPa and the internal friction angle ranges from 38.4° to 46.1°.

Key words: Mars, martian regolith, volcano ash, Martian simulant regolith, terra-mechanics characters
