LMC platform
Material Families.
A public product-family library for lunar construction materials, organized by what customers need to specify, compare, certify, and verify.
At a glance
Material products
Find the LMC family that matches a construction product.
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.

Choose the Material First.
Each family has a different performance risk. Bricks need compression and dust release. Landing surfaces need plume and spall behavior. Joints need dust intrusion and re-seatability. LMC keeps those paths separate and comparable.
Discrete blocks for surface infrastructure, berms, walls, robotic roads, and non-pressure construction uses.
- Compression class
- Thermal cycling
- Abrasion and dust release
- Repair path
Flat construction products where panel geometry, edge quality, flexural response, and handling matter.
- Panel flatness
- Edge integrity
- Flexural behavior
- Robotic handling
High-wear surface products for pads, roads, aprons, and traffic areas where dust emission becomes mission risk.
- Spall behavior
- Particle release
- Surface continuity
- Repair tile path
Stacked, filled, or modular shielding products where density, voids, geometry, and joints control performance.
- Areal density
- Wall geometry
- Void fraction
- Assembly boundary
Slag, glass, reduced regolith, and process residues that may become feedstock for construction products.
- Source process
- Material identity
- Contamination disclosure
- Reuse pathway
Dry interlocks, labyrinth seams, gaskets, clips, pins, and reseatable interfaces for dusty lunar assembly.
- Dust intrusion
- Shear response
- Re-seatability
- Robotic assembly
Patch, replacement, reheating, reseating, or robotic repair methods that keep material records reviewable after repair or change.
- Damage class
- Repair method
- Strength recovery
- Renewal trigger
Simulant and lunar material identity records that connect grain size, chemistry, mineralogy, and lot lineage.
- Source identity
- Particle profile
- Composition report
- Lot lineage
Family fit
One product can need more than one standard.
A landing-pad tile may need LMC-003 for surface behavior and LMC-008 for feedstock traceability. A shielding wall may need LMC-004 plus LMC-006 for joints. The family library helps customers choose the correct combination.
For blocks used as part of a radiation wall or berm assembly.
For replaceable landing-surface modules with seams or reseatable joints.
For oxygen-extraction residue being converted into a construction product.
For repaired lots or products with a published renewal path.
