Abstract
La búsqueda de análogos terrestres es crucial para el desarrollode futuras bases lunares permanentes o semipermanentes. Los análogos terrestres son regiones donde es posible probar no solo instrumental científico, sino también las capacidades de los astronautas en un entorno que, por su contexto geológico, geomorfológico, mineralógico, geoquímico, etc es similar al que podemos encontrar en Marte, la Luna e incluso asteroides. Este trabajo se ha centrado en la realización de una caracterización multianalítica de tres regiones de Lanzarote (Maciot, Tao y Lavas de Timanfaya) a través del empleo de diferentes técnicas geoquímicas y petrofísicas. Los resultados han sido comparados con los datos aportados por otros autores sobre muestras traídas de las misiones Apolo. Esto ha permitido determinar la analogía existente entre las regiones de estudio y la región de alunizaje del Apolo 14 conocida como Fra-Mauro. Además, se ha podido concluir qué recursos son potencialmente extraíbles del regolito lunar y su función en una futura base semipermanente. Por último, se propone la posibilidad de elaborar el primer simulante regolítico lunar usando basalto de Lanzarote.
The search for Terrestrial Analogues is essential for the development of future permanent or semi-permanent lunar bases. Terrestrial Analogues are zones where it is possible to probe not only scientific instruments but also to other astronaut capabilities in an environment that is similar to the geological context, geomorphology, mineralogical, geochemistry, etc that we can find on Mars, the Moon and even asteroids. This work has focused on a multi-analytical characterization of three Lanzarote regions (Maciot, Tao y Lavas de Timanfaya), with different geochemical and petrophysical test. These results have been compared with data provided by other authors on samples brought from the Apollo missions. This has allowed to determine the analogy between the study regions and the Apollo 14 moon landing site known as Fra-Mauro formation. In addition, it is concluded which resources are potentially extractable from the Moon regolith and its function in a future semipermanent lunar base. Finally, it is proposed the possibility of developing the first Spanish lunar soil simulant through one of the Lanzarote basalts.
