We provide detailed background, theoretical and practical, on the specificheat cp of minerals and mixtures thereof, 'astro-materials', as well asbackground information on common minerals and other relevant solid substancesfound on the surfaces of solar system bodies. Furthermore, we demonstrate howto use specific heat and composition data for lunar samples and meteorites aswell as a new database of endmember mineral heat capacities (the result of anextensive literature review) to construct reference models for the isobaricspecific heat cP as a function of temperature for common solar systemmaterials. Using a (generally linear) mixing model for the specific heat ofminerals allows extrapolation of the available data to very low and very hightemperatures, such that models cover the temperature range between 10 and 1000K at least (and pressures from zero up to several kbars). We describe aprocedure to estimate cp(T) for virtually any solid solar system material witha known mineral composition, e.g., model specific heat as a function oftemperature for a number of typical meteorite classes with known mineralogicalcompositions. We present, as examples, the cp(T) curves of a number ofwell-described laboratory regolith analogues, as well as for planetary ices and'tholins' in the outer solar system. Part II will review and present the heatcapacity database for minerals and compounds and part III is going to coverapplications, standard reference compositions, cp(T) curves and a comparisonwith new and literature experimental data.
