Planetary Soil Simulant Characterisation: NU-LHT-2M Study Case to Support Oxygen Extraction Lab Tests with a Low-Temperature Carbothermal Process

open access: yesAerospace
Since the landing on the lunar surface, the lunar regolith has begun to interact in different ways with landed elements, such as the wheels of a rover, astronaut suits, drills, and plants for extracting oxygen or manufacturing objects.

Present‐Day Thermal State and Surface Heat Flux of the Moon

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract The concentration of volcanic material and Heat‐Producing Elements (HPE) on the lunar nearside surface suggests an asymmetry of interior properties and thermal history between the two hemispheres. However, the distribution of HPE beneath the surface and the processes that led to their potential enrichment on the nearside remain poorly ...

Conceptual design of equipment to excavate and transport regolith from the lunar maria [PDF]

open access: yes
NASA hopes to have a manned lunar outpost completed by 2005. In order to establish the base, regolith must be excavated from the lunar surface. Regolith will be used as a source for life-supporting elements and as radiation shielding for the lunar ...

Far Field Deposition Of Scoured Regolith Resulting From Lunar Landings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
As a lunar lander approaches a dusty surface, the plume from the descent engine impinges on the ground, entraining loose regolith into a high velocity dust spray.

Evolution of Terrestrial Planetary Bodies and Implications for Habitability

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract The terrestrial planetary bodies of our solar system—Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars—share a common origin through nebular accretion and early magma ocean differentiation, yet they diverged significantly in geological evolution, tectonic regimes, and habitability.

Past and present solar radiation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
Addressed what was the extent to which asteroidal and lunar regoliths have collected and preserved, a record of the flux, energy, and compositional history of the solar wind and solar flares. The six central discussion topics were: Trapped solar wind and

Experimental Limit on the Cosmic Diffuse Ultra-high Energy Neutrino Flux

open access: yes, 2003
We report results from 120 hours of livetime with the Goldstone Lunar Ultra-high energy neutrino Experiment (GLUE). The experiment searches for = 100 EeV neutrinos in the lunar regolith.

Investigation into failure mechanisms of lunar regolith simulant under thin-walled drilling tool with critical parameters

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mining Science and Technology
Acquiring pristine deep lunar regolith cores with appropriate drilling tools is crucial for deciphering the lunar geological history. Conventional thick-walled drill bits are inherently limited in obtaining deep lunar regolith samples, whereas thin ...

Analysis of lunar regolith thermal energy storage [PDF]

open access: yes
The concept of using lunar regolith as a thermal energy storage medium was evaluated. The concept was examined by mathematically modeling the absorption and transfer of heat by the lunar regolith. Regolith thermal and physical properties were established

A Compressive Sensing-Based Approach to Reconstructing Regolith Structure from Lunar Penetrating Radar Data at the Chang’E-3 Landing Site

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2018
Lunar Penetrating Radar (LPR) is one of the important scientific systems onboard the Yutu lunar rover for the purpose of detecting the lunar regolith and the subsurface geologic structures of the lunar regolith, providing the opportunity to map the ...
