The contact force between lunar-based equipment and lunar soil. [PDF]
iScienceLunar-based equipment plays a vital role in the exploration of the moon because it undertakes the tasks of moving, transporting, digging, and so on. In order to control the gait of lunar-based equipment more precisely and guarantee mobile stability, the contact mechanism between its foot and lunar soil is worthy of in-depth study.

Magnetic field coupling with lunar soil simulants. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2023 AbstractWireless power transfer (WPT) using magnetically coupled resonators is being integrated into space vehicles destined for the lunar surface. The dusty soil on the Moon, called lunar regolith, is known to adhere to surfaces and is also known to contain iron, including iron oxides and metallic iron.

Polycyclic aromatics in the Chang'E 5 lunar soils. [PDF]
Nat CommunAbstract Polycyclic aromatics are ubiquitous in the interstellar medium and meteorites, yet the search for lunar polycyclic aromatics remains a significant challenge. Here, we analyze Chang’E-5 lunar soil samples, revealing polycyclic aromatic concentrations of 5.0–9.2 µg/g (average: 7.4 ± 1.4 µg/g).

Updating "Intensity dataset acquired through laser scanning of lunar and Martian soil simulants" with additional lunar soil simulants specimens. [PDF]
Data Brief, 2023 Updated dataset based on the laser scanning of three specimens of lunar soil simulants representing highland regions (LHS-1, AGK-2010, CHENOBI) and three specimens of lunar soil simulants representing mare regions (LMS-1, JSC-1A, OPRL2N).

The density of the lunar surface soil [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research, 1968 Until the landing of the Surveyor 1 spacecraft on the moon, it had been inferred from earth-based optical, thermal, radio, and radar observations that the surface f the moon consisted of material of low-bulk density (less than 1 g/cm^3) and high porosity.

Terrestrial Laser Scanning of Lunar Soil Simulants. [PDF]
Materials (Basel), 2022 In the near future, permanent human settlements on the Moon will become increasingly realistic. It is very likely that the Moon will serve as a transit point for deep space exploration (e.g., to Mars). The key to human presence on the Moon is the ability to erect the necessary structures and habitats using locally available materials, such as lunar ...
