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

Aerospace
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.

Conceptual design of equipment to excavate and transport regolith from the lunar maria [PDF]

NASA hopes to have a manned lunar outpost completed by 2005. In order to establish the base, regolith must be excavated from the lunar surface. Regolith will be used as a source for life-supporting elements and as radiation shielding for the lunar ...

Corinto: A Young, Extensively Rayed Crater That Produced a Billion Secondaries on Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Corinto crater is a fresh, 13.9 km diameter impact crater in Elysium Planitia that produced one of the most extensive systems of thermally distinct rays and secondary craters on Mars, extending up to ∼2,000 km and covering a nearly 180° arc. It is the youngest crater of its size on Mars and impacted between 0.1 and 2.5 Ma into Early Amazonian ...

A Compressive Sensing-Based Approach to Reconstructing Regolith Structure from Lunar Penetrating Radar Data at the Chang’E-3 Landing Site

Remote Sensing, 2018
Lunar Penetrating Radar (LPR) is one of the important scientific systems onboard the Yutu lunar rover for the purpose of detecting the lunar regolith and the subsurface geologic structures of the lunar regolith, providing the opportunity to map the ...

A Thermal Origin to the Asymmetry of the Permanent Dust Cloud at the Moon

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract The Moon's surface, lacking an atmosphere, is continually bombarded by high‐speed micro‐meteoroids, creating a highly porous regolith composed of very fine grains. This regolith's porosity decreases with depth due to compression. Besides creating vapor and melt, micro‐meteoroid impacts eject lunar dust, redistributing regolith grains, which ...

Analysis of lunar regolith thermal energy storage [PDF]

The concept of using lunar regolith as a thermal energy storage medium was evaluated. The concept was examined by mathematically modeling the absorption and transfer of heat by the lunar regolith. Regolith thermal and physical properties were established
