Submillimeter-Scale Topography of the Lunar Regolith
Icarus, 1999 We have applied computer stereophotogrammetry to Apollo Lunar Surface Closeup Camera (ALSCC) pictures of the lunar surface to construct the first-ever digital topographic relief maps of undisturbed lunar soil over spatial scales from 85 μm to 8.5 cm.

Regolith thermal energy storage for lunar nighttime power [PDF]
A scheme for providing nighttime electric power to a lunar base is described. This scheme stores thermal energy in a pile of regolith. Any such scheme must somehow improve on the poor thermal conductivity of lunar regolith in vacuum. Two previous schemes

Journal of Materials Research and TechnologyAdditive manufacturing of lunar regolith is one of the most promising methods for lunar surface construction. In order to obtain excellent formability of lunar regolith, the interaction between laser and lunar regolith has to be studied in detail.

High-resolution Earth-based lunar radar studies: Applications to lunar resource assessment [PDF]
The lunar regolith will most likely be a primary raw material for lunar base construction and resource extraction. High-resolution radar observations of the Moon provide maps of radar backscatter that have intensity variations generally controlled by the

Statistical models of lunar rocks and regolith [PDF]
The mathematical, statistical, and computational approaches used in the investigation of the interrelationship of lunar fragmental material, regolith, lunar rocks, and lunar craters are described. The first two phases of the work explored the sensitivity

Analysis of regolith electromagnetic scattering as constrained by high resolution Earth-based measurements of the lunar microwave emission [PDF]
When high resolution measurements of the phase variation of the lunar disk center brightness temperature revealed that in situ regolith electrical losses were larger than those measured on returned samples by a factor of 1.5 to 2.0 at centimeter ...
