Structure and Formation Mechanism of Lunar Regolith

Space: Science & Technology
Lunar regolith is a thin layer of weakly cohesive detrital materials covering the lunar surface. Studies on returned lunar samples have revealed that the lunar regolith mainly consists of fragments of rocks, minerals, breccia, glasses, and agglutinates ...

Regolith history of lunar meteorites [PDF]

Meteoritics & Planetary Science, 2005
The regolith evolution of the lunar meteorites Dhofar (Dho) 081, Northwest Africa (NWA) 032, NWA 482, NWA 773, Sayh al Uhaymir (SaU) 169, and Yamato (Y-) 981031 was investigated by measuring the light noble gases He, Ne, and Ar. The presence of trapped solar neon in Dho 081, NWA 773, and Y-981031 indicates an exposure at the lunar surface. A neon three-

Massive Water Production from Cryogenic Icy Lunar Regolith by a Microwave Heating Method [PDF]

Research
Water extraction from lunar regolith is one of the critical techniques for in situ resource utilization on the Moon. Traditional conductive heating methods show low efficiencies for massive water production from lunar regolith due to the low heat ...

Telomere dynamics and oxidative stress in Arabidopsis grown in lunar regolith simulant [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
NASA envisions a future where humans establish a thriving colony on the Moon by 2050. Plants will be essential for this endeavor, but little is known about their adaptation to extraterrestrial bodies.

Use of orbiting reflectors to decrease the technological challenges of surviving the lunar night [PDF]

, 2011
In this paper the feasibility of using lunar reflectors to decrease the technological challenges of surviving the lunar night is investigated. This is achieved by attempting to find orbits in the two-body problem where the argument of periapsis is ...

Deducing Lunar Regolith Porosity From Energetic Neutral Atom Emission [PDF]

, 2022
The porosity of the upper layers of regolith is key to the interaction of an airless planetary body with precipitating radiation, but it remains difficult to characterize.

A proposal of lunar long duration method (Fabrication of lunar environment simulator and experimental validation)

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2014
A lunar long duration method which utilizes a characteristic of a very low thermal conductivity of lunar regolith has been proposed. The principle of this method is to put heater in desired depth of the regolith and heat up the regolith layer during ...
