LUNAR REGOLITH SIMULATION AT MICROWAVES

Journal of Radio Electronics, 2023
А remote measurement of the lunar regolith temperature from a lander is expected in the near future. A special bench for experimental testing of the experiment details has been created. The test bench simulates the measurement of the temperature of the lunar regolith at depths down to 1 m.

Numerical Simulations of the Lunar Penetrating Radar and Investigations of the Geological Structures of the Lunar Regolith Layer at the Chang’E 3 Landing Site

International Journal of Antennas and Propagation, 2017
In the process of lunar exploration, and specifically when studying lunar surface structure and thickness, the established lunar regolith model is usually a uniform and ideal structural model, which is not well-suited to describe the real structure of ...

Electromagnetic Signal Attenuation Characteristics in the Lunar Regolith Observed by the Lunar Regolith Penetrating Radar (LRPR) Onboard the Chang’E-5 Lander

Remote Sensing, 2022
The Chinese Chang’E-5 probe landed in the Mons Rümker of Oceanus Procellarum on the near side of the Moon. The lunar regolith penetrating radar (LRPR) carried by the Chang’E-5 probe allows for the determination of in situ lunar regolith dielectric ...

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.

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 Advances
The 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

Bulk Density of the Lunar Regolith at the Chang'E‐3 Landing Site as Estimated From Lunar Penetrating Radar

Earth and Space Science, 2020
Bulk density of the lunar regolith is a key factor affecting its geophysical and geotechnical properties. In this study, a new method for estimating the bulk density of the lunar regolith is developed based on the geometric characteristic (i.e ...

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 ...

Additive manufacturing of lunar regolith structures

Open Ceramics, 2021
The key to any presence in space being sustainable is the ability to manufacture the necessary structures and spares in situ and on-demand, in order to avoid the cost, volume, and up-mass constraints that would prohibit a successful launch with everything needed for long-duration and long-distance missions from Earth. In terms of meeting the demand for
