Simulation of Autonomous Grading of Lunar Surface
Lunar missions of space agencies aim to set up permanent facilities on the surface of the Moon. Vast majority of the construction activities should be executed as unmanned because of the unsuitable habitat conditions of the Moon. In this study autonomous grading of Moon surface by an electric powered small scale dozer is examined. An autonomous grading

Microbial induced calcite precipitation can consolidate martian and lunar regolith simulants
We demonstrate that Microbial Induced Calcite Precipitation (MICP) can be utilized for creation of consolidates of Martian Simulant Soil (MSS) and Lunar Simulant Soil (LSS) in the form of a ‘brick’.

Sintering of Lunar and Simulant Glass [PDF]
Most oxygen-extraction techniques are temperature-dependent, with higher temperatures resulting in higher oxygen yield. An example is hydrogen reduction, in which the optimum process temperature is 1050 C. However, glass-rich lunar soil begins to show the effects of sintering at temperatures of 900 C or lower.

Construction of Sampling Disturbance Model of Lunar Surface
This study establishes a dynamic evolution model of the physical and mechanical properties of lunar simulant as a function of sampling-induced disturbance on the lunar surface, aiming to eliminate design errors in sampling missions caused by neglecting ...

Simulating the lunar geomagnetic variations [PDF]
The equivalent circuit method is used to simulate the lunar semidiurnal geomagnetic tides. Samples of observations of the lunar geomagnetic tide are also presented, derived from analyses of hourly values of the horizontal component of the magnetic field recorded at several observatories. These are compared to the results of the simulations at different

Effect of Soil Type on Running Performance of Small Lunar Rover
It is very easy for a small lunar rover to slip on the regolith of the lunar surface and become stuck. Previous studies have quantitatively evaluated the effects of wheel geometry, such as elliptical or eccentric wheels, on the performance of a rover ...

Polarization Changes in Lunar Simulant Soil: The Role of Incident, Reflection, and Off‐Plane Angles
Abstract Observing the polarization of the lunar regolith is essential for obtaining detailed information about the composition and characteristics of lunar soil. Observations conducted via lunar orbiters facilitate polarization measurements over wide areas; however, achieving very high‐resolution imaging requires either a large optical system or a ...
