Accessing and assessing lunar resources with PROSPECT [PDF]

, 2014
PROSPECT is a package in development by ESA to assess the in-situ resource potential of lunar regolith. PROSPECT will: obtain sub-surface regolith samples, extract volatiles, identify chemical species, quantify abundances, and characterize ...

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-

Textural and geochemical diversity of impact melt rock clasts in Apollo 16 sample 67015: Implications for the provenance of impact ejecta in the lunar highlands

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Apollo sample 67015 has been classified as a fragmental breccia comprised of highlands‐type clasts and is proposed to be the most complex Apollo 16 sample. 67015 is dominated by impact melt rock clasts that display a variety of textures, which have been previously interpreted to be indicative of multiple impact events.

Advances in Solidification Technologies of Lunar Regolith-Based Building Materials Under Extreme Lunar Environments

Buildings
With the launch of the Artemis program and the International Lunar Research Station project, the construction of lunar bases has emerged as a global research focus. In situ manufacturing technologies for robust lunar regolith-based building materials are

Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.

Morphological and Spectral Characterization of Lunar Regolith Breakdown due to Water Ice

The Planetary Science Journal
Remote sensing observations of the Moon suggest that the lunar polar regolith environment is affected by several natural processes that may cause the regolith in these regions to become more porous and fine particulate.

The Effect of Tip Design on Technological Performance During the Exploration of Earth, Lunar, and Martian Soil Environments

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 1, Page 387-408, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the penetration performance of soil‐burrowing probes with different tip designs during shallow‐depth penetration in various media, including terrestrial soils (Hostun sand) and well‐characterized planetary soil simulants (LHS‐1 Lunar regolith simulant and MGS‐1 Martian regolith simulant).

Mercury's Hollows: A Potential Signature of Sulfur Exosphere‐Subsurface Transport

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 24, 28 December 2025.
Abstract Bright geological formations called hollows were observed at Mercury and are mostly found in impact craters. While their composition is unknown, subsurface sulfur could be responsible for their formation. Mercury's porous surface favors the subsurface diffusion of returning exospheric atoms.

Magnetic field coupling with lunar soil simulants

Scientific Reports, 2023
Wireless power transfer (WPT) using magnetically coupled resonators is being integrated into space vehicles destined for the lunar surface. The dusty soil on the Moon, called lunar regolith, is known to adhere to surfaces and is also known to contain ...

Poly(Imide‐Siloxane) Copolymer Materials for Lunar Dust Mitigation: Synthesis and Characterization of Surface Properties

Macromolecular Symposia, Volume 414, Issue 6, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Dust poses a significant threat to any equipment operating on the Moon, particularly for long‐term explorations. The development of efficient dust mitigation solutions is therefore critical for the success of lunar missions. In this work, fully aromatic and fluorinated polyimide (PI) and poly(imide‐dimethylsiloxane) (PIDMS) copolymers are ...
