Lunar regolith control and resource utilization
2009 IEEE Long Island Systems, Applications and Technology Conference, 2009The major process for weathering and erosion on the moon is micro-meteorite impact. This produces the outer blanket of the moon known as lunar regolith or soil, which consists of numerous particles of various sizes. Lunar dust (defined as particles ≪20um) makes up about 20 wt% of the typical lunar soil.

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

Isotopic Variability of Nitrogen in Lunar Regolith
Science, 2001Hashizume et al . ([1][1]) claim that the distribution and isotopic composition of nitrogen in the lunar regolith can be explained by a two-component mixing model. Their report, however, fails to discuss the bulk of existing relevant data—data that show unequivocally that the conclusions in ([1 ...

The Evolution of the Lunar Regolith
Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 1977layer (regolith) was known long before the first soft landings, though its properties were not clearly understood. Nearly all our present knowledge derives from samples returned from the Moon, and secondarily from observations made on the surface or from lunar orbit.

Compressive deformation of porous lunar regolith
Materials Letters, 2015Abstract Compressive properties of porous lunar regolith were tested. It was hypothesized that final porosity could be controlled by changing the initial powder particle size during pressing and sintering. A sintering temperature of 1200 °C for 20 min was found to be optimum for densification.
