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 ...

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.

Space weathering on the lunar nearside and farside constrained from Si isotopes [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsOver long timescales, space weathering processes can modify the compositions of surface materials on the Moon. To assess the effects of space weathering of lunar soils, we study Si isotopes of Chang’E-5 (CE-5) and Chang’E-6 (CE-6) returned samples, and ...
