Lunar Anorthosite 15415: Texture, Mineralogy, and Metamorphic History
Science, 1972Lunar anorthosite 15415 consists almost entirely of anorthite (homogeneous anorthite 96.6 molecule percent), with accessory diopsidic augite and traces of hypersthene, ilmenite, and a silica mineral. The rock has had a complex metamorphic history. The texture reflects at least two episodes of shearing (followed by intense and partial recrystallization,

The Mineralogy, petrology and geochemistry of lunar samples - a review
The Moon, 1972Crystallization from the molten state has been an important process for the formation of rocks on the Moon; the phenomenon of fractional crystallization is therefore discussed. The principal chemical and mineralogical features of the Apollo 11, 12 and 14 basaltic crystalline rocks are described, and an account is given of other rock types and minerals ...

A seismic model of the lunar mantle and constraints on temperature and mineralogy
Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 2006Abstract We determine seismic profiles of the Moon’s interior using travel times obtained from a re-analysis of the Apollo data. Due to the limited number of quakes and stations, travel times errors were determined and used in the inversions. Our model has a mean crustal thickness of about 30 km in the region of the Apollo network, with a 10 km zone ...

Lunar Simulants as Feedstocks for ISRU Processing: Mineralogy and Chemistry
Earth & Space 2006, 2006The scarcity of lunar soil available for engineering investigations on Earth, in preparation for human return to the Moon, means lunar soil simulants must be used. It is imperative that we know the composition and mineralogy of these so as to better understand the processes under study.

Introduction: Lunar soil simulants have been produced since 1971, as the upcoming space missions needed astronauts to be trained in conducting scientific field works on the Moon’s surface. [1] However, the first lunar soil simulants were not satisfactory in terms of chemical composition and mineralogy, as they were focused on having the proper ...

LuMISS (Lunar Mineralogical Imaging for Surface Studies) is a spectrometer devoted to the study of the lunar regolith from close observation of the lunar surface. The instrument is designed to identify and characterize hydrated minerals, water ice, and anhydrous mineral phases on the lunar surface, thanks to the spectral range extending from UV to IR ...
