Thermal properties of processed lunar regolith simulant [PDF]
International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology, 2019 Abstract In this paper, the thermal characterization of lunar regolith simulant, sintered using a conventional oven under ambient and vacuum conditions is presented. Additionally, thermal characterization of samples is performed for the parts manufactured using solar, laser, and microwave processing.

Structure and Formation Mechanism of Lunar Regolith
Space: Science & TechnologyLunar 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 ...

Performance of hydrogen-rich materials in combination with lunar regolith for shielding against GCR, albedo, and SPEs on the surface of the moon studied using MULASSIS [PDF]
AIP AdvancesThe moon is the most likely location for future human habitation. The radiation exposure from the combination of galactic cosmic rays, solar particle events, and albedo radiation on the Moon’s surface is one of the major obstacles to permanent settlement
