The Granular Mechanics and Regolith Operations (GMRO) laboratory conducts research on the behavior of materials in a launch pad environment, with a focus on soil mechanics for Lunar and Martian spaceports. They investigate how to excavate soil for berms, landing pads, and roads, as well as how to predict the effects of soil or other materials being blown by rocket exhaust plumes.
