Shear Mechanical Behavior of Lunar Regolith Simulant with Different Relative Densities Under Thermal–Mechanical Coupling

open access: yesApplied Sciences
The mechanical behavior of lunar regolith is crucial for lunar exploration projects, particularly drilling and sampling equipment. However, the extremely limited quantity of returned lunar regolith is insufficient for systematic macroscopic mechanical ...

Concentrations of Volatiles in the Lunar Regolith [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
To set lower and upper limits on the overall amounts and types of volatiles released during heating of polar regolith, we examined the data for equatorial lunar regolith and for the compositions of comets.

Use of Silica Dust and Lunar Simulants for Assessing Lunar Regolith Exposure

open access: yes, 2023
The utilization of the lunar regolith holds immense potential for future space exploration, but the potential health risks associated with lunar regolith are a significant concern.

Sintering lunar regolith pellets: a comparison of four samples from Apollo 11, 15, and 16

open access: yesMaterials Today Advances
Lunar regolith sintering is proposed as a technique to produce consolidated objects on the lunar surface from locally sourced materials. Understanding the sintering behaviour of real lunar regolith is necessary to optimise this process, however, due to ...

Planetary Soil Simulant Characterisation: NU-LHT-2M Study Case to Support Oxygen Extraction Lab Tests with a Low-Temperature Carbothermal Process

open access: yesAerospace
Since the landing on the lunar surface, the lunar regolith has begun to interact in different ways with landed elements, such as the wheels of a rover, astronaut suits, drills, and plants for extracting oxygen or manufacturing objects.

Charging Properties and Particle Dynamics of Chang’e-5 Lunar Sample in an External Electric Field

open access: yesEngineering
Facing the challenges of in-situ utilization of lunar regolith resources, applying an external electric field to manipulate lunar particles has become a promising method for space particle control, which mainly depends on the particle charging properties

Terahertz Emission Modeling of Lunar Regolith

open access: yesRemote Sensing
We investigate the terahertz (THz) scattering and emission properties of lunar regolith by modeling it as a random medium with rough top and bottom boundaries and a host medium situated beneath. The total scattering and emission arise from three sources: the rough boundaries, the volume, and the interactions between the boundaries and the volume.

High-Energy Detonation Based Lunar Regolith Simulation for Resource Utilization

open access: yesAerospace
As international lunar exploration shifts from mainly understanding the Moon to equally prioritizing its utilization, the requirement for highly similar lunar regolith simulants has grown.

Application of Finite Difference Method for determining lunar regolith diurnal temperature distribution

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2018
This study was performed in order to verify viability of using finite difference method and proposed simple astrometrical model for modelling heat transfer in lunar regolith. The concept was examined by developing FD model of heat flow for upper 0,9 m of
