In the year 2004 NASA declared its mission to prepare for a return of man to the moon as early as 2015 but no later than 2020, while continuing with robotic missions to Mars (NASA 2004). As a long-term goal, it was intended to establish permanent human presence on the moon and eventually send human missions to Mars.

The extent of lunar regolith mixing
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 1979The activity of solar cosmic-ray-produced Mn-53 measured as a function of depth in the upper 100 g/sq cm of lunar cores 60009-60010 and 12025-12028 is discussed. Analyses of samples from the Apollo 15 and 16 drill stems together with authors' previously published results (1974, 1976), and the Battelle Na-22 and Al-26 data, indicate that in three of the

Properties and Mechanics of the Lunar Regolith
Applied Mechanics Reviews, 1993Knowledge of the lunar regolith is essential to success in lunar missions whether crewed or robotic. The regolith is the loose material overlying more intact strata on the Moon. It varies in thickness from several meters on the maria or lunar seas to many meters on the highlands of the Moon.

Water Formation in the Lunar Regolith
Cosmic Research, 2019This study shows that oxygen atoms can be released from a crystal lattice of silicon dioxide in the lunar regolith as parts of silver hydroxide molecules. In turn, silver hydroxide can relatively easily react with hydrogen to generate water and silver. This means that the formation of water molecules involved in near-surface lunar soil is possible. The

The chemistry of carbon in the lunar regolith
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1977Abstract The current status of knowledge concerning the chemistry of carbon in the lunar regolith is discussed. The respective roles of the solar wind and micrometeorite impact in contributing carbon and providing energy to stimulate chemical reactions and mobilize carbon phases are examined.

Use of lunar regolith as a substrate for plant growth
Advances in Space Research, 1994Regenerative Life Support Systems (RLSS) will be required to regenerate air, water, and wastes, and to produce food for human consumption during long-duration missions to the Moon and Mars. It may be possible to supplement some of the materials needed for a lunar RLSS from resources on the Moon.

Investigation into Uses for Lunar Regolith
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2003Any sustained effort on the Moon will require use of in‐situ resources as much as possible to reduce costs. Power generation is a primary concern and solar cells would be a convenient source of power for any lunar activity. Lunar regolith is an easily accessible in‐situ resource.

Neutron stratigraphy in the lunar regolith
1974NOTE: Text or symbols not renderable in plain ASCII are indicated by [...]. Abstract is included in .pdf document. Differences in the isotopic composition of Gd and Sm among lunar samples collected during the Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, and 16 and Luna 16 missions have been measured by high precision mass spectrometry. These differences (up to 1.9% in [...]

Investigation of a lunar regolith breccia
Ein Mondmeteorit ist ein Gestein, welches durch ein Impakt-Ereignis von der Mondoberfläche weggeschleudert wurde und in weiterer Folge auf der Erde landete. Mondmeteorite übertreffen inzwischen die ungefähr 382 Kilogramm an Probenmaterial, das von den Apollo und Luna Missionen stammt, sowohl hinsichtlich der reinen Masse als auch der Diversität.openaire +1 more source
