High-resolution Earth-based lunar radar studies: Applications to lunar resource assessment [PDF]
The lunar regolith will most likely be a primary raw material for lunar base construction and resource extraction. High-resolution radar observations of the Moon provide maps of radar backscatter that have intensity variations generally controlled by the

Analysis of regolith electromagnetic scattering as constrained by high resolution Earth-based measurements of the lunar microwave emission [PDF]
When high resolution measurements of the phase variation of the lunar disk center brightness temperature revealed that in situ regolith electrical losses were larger than those measured on returned samples by a factor of 1.5 to 2.0 at centimeter ...

Regolith thermal energy storage for lunar nighttime power [PDF]
A scheme for providing nighttime electric power to a lunar base is described. This scheme stores thermal energy in a pile of regolith. Any such scheme must somehow improve on the poor thermal conductivity of lunar regolith in vacuum. Two previous schemes
