Lab Network
Participating and candidate lab roles for compression, thermal cycling, abrasion, dust release, feedstock identity, radiation reports, and repair testing.
Laboratory network
Understand the test capabilities LMC may require from participating labs.
Scope: LMC is a MineSpace technical standards and certification program. MineSpace-issued records document conformance to the stated LMC version and evidence boundary; they do not represent government approval or third-party laboratory accreditation unless explicitly identified.
Testing needs capabilities, not vague claims.
LMC treats lab capability as a documented input. A lab can be strong in compression testing but still may not be suitable for dust-release, thermal cycling, radiation reporting, or robotic repair evidence.
Compression, flexural, shear, impact, failure-mode imaging, lot statistics.
Vacuum thermal cycling, retained strength, spall count, crack density, mass loss.
Abrasion, particle release, fine fraction, electrostatic adhesion, contamination handling.
Particle distribution, mineralogy, elemental composition, volatiles, glass fraction.
Density, areal mass, attenuation reports, simulation metadata, shield-equivalent reporting.
Patch performance, robotic reseatability, joint contamination, repeated repair cycles.
Evidence starts before the first test.
LMC lab records should preserve sample identity, lot traceability, pre-test condition, test environment, failure images, and post-test mass or dust release.
Lot ID, count, geometry, mass, storage state, and visible condition.
Specimen dimensions, surface condition, cure/sinter age, and environmental exposure.
Method, instrument, operator, load path, atmosphere, temperature, and result.
Failure images, raw files, calculated fields, Evidence record fingerprint, and certificate mapping.
