Adventures in Lunar Core Processing: Timeline of and Preparation for Opening of Core Sample 73002 for the ANGSA Program [PDF]

The Apollo mission returned 382 kg of rocks, soil and core samples, which have helped to advance our knowledge of lunar science. Studies of these lunar samples are crucial for our understanding of the Moons geological evolution.

Toxicity of lunar dust

, 2012
The formation, composition and physical properties of lunar dust are incompletely characterised with regard to human health. While the physical and chemical determinants of dust toxicity for materials such as asbestos, quartz, volcanic ashes and urban ...

Spirulina supported plant growth in regolith simulants and elevated levels of CO2

Frontiers in Space Technologies
IntroductionA key element for sustainable off-world habitation is the ability to grow food through in-situ resource utilization (ISRU). Growth substrates are required to overcome the challenges of ISRU in the space environment, including the use of ...

Patch Plate Materials Compatibility Assessment [PDF]

Lunar dust proved to be a greater problem during the Apollo missions than was originally anticipated. The highly angular, charged dust particles stuck to seals, radiators, and visors; clogged mechanisms; and abraded space suits.

Research on the Compactness of Lunar Soil Simulant Based on Static Cone Penetration Test

Applied Sciences
The shear strength and bearing characteristics of lunar soil have a strong connection with its compactness. The compactness varies significantly with depth and has an important effect on engineering activities on the lunar surface.
