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 ...

Modeling the Evolution of Lunar Regolith: 1. Formation Mechanism Through Individual Simple Impact Craters

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2023
The production, distribution, and evolution of lunar regolith are critical in deciphering the lunar bombardment history and comprehending the transport of materials across the lunar surface, which are still not well understood.

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 ...

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.

Cohesion and shear strength of compacted lunar and Martian regolith simulants [PDF]

Icarus (New York, N.Y. 1962)
Shear strength and cohesion of granular materials are important geotechnical properties that play a crucial role in the stability and behavior of lunar and Martian regolith, as well as their terrestrial analog materials. To characterize and predict shear

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 ...

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
