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

Abstract Seismic determination of the Moon's crustal thickness is crucial for understanding its formation, composition, and evolution. Additionally, crustal thicknesses below seismic stations serve as anchoring points for 3D crustal thickness maps derived from gravity and topography field variations.

An investigation of the thermal shock resistance of lunar regolith and the recovery of hydrogen from lunar soil heated using microwave radiation [PDF]
The objective is to develop a better understanding of the thermal shock properties of lunar regolith sintered using 2.45 GHz electromagnetic radiation and to do a preliminary study into the recovery of bound hydrogen in lunar soil heated using 2.45 GHz ...

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

The Influence of Space Weathering on the Far‐Ultraviolet Reflectance of Apollo‐Era Soils
Abstract Building on our previous studies of the far‐ultraviolet (FUV) reflectance of Apollo soil 10084 and lunar soil simulants JSC‐1A and LMS‐1 (Gimar et al., 2022, https://doi.org/10.1029/2022je007508; Raut et al., 2018, https://doi.org/10.1029/2018je005567), we present new FUV results for Apollo soils 68501 and 71061. Heavily weathered soils (68501,

[Effect of lunar dust on humans: -lunar dust: regolith-].
We reviewed the effect of lunar dust (regolith) on humans by the combination of the hazard/exposure of regolith and microgravity of the moon. With regard to the physicochemical properties of lunar dust, the hazard-related factors are its components, fibrous materials and nanoparticles.
