Multielement Analysis of Lunar Soil and Rocks
Science, 1970Results for multielement analysis of lunar soil and of seven rocks returned by Apollo 11 are presented. Sixty-six elements were determined with spark source mass spectrography and neutron activation. U. S. Geological Survey standard W-1 was used as a comparative standard.

The Remanent Magnetization of Lunar Soils
Science, 1972The magnetic material in the lunar soils makes them potentially strong carriers of remanence and magnetically viscous. The soils therefore block remanence in the temperature range of the lunar diurnal cycle. This remanence is stable against alternating-field demagnetization.

Surface history of lunar soil and soil columns
Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 1974Measurements of cosmic ray track densities are presented for soil samples from Apollo 15, 16, and 17. Median track densities are used to infer total effective exposure times within about 15 cm of the lunar surface. Minimum track densities are used to derive the time of the last impact-produced rearrangement of soil grains.

Lunar Soil Simulants- An Assessment
2019 9th International Conference on Recent Advances in Space Technologies (RAST), 2019In this study an assessment is done about lunar soil simulants. It is found that until now more than 40 simulants are produced in 9 countries. This procedure is a still ongoing one, after its start in the year 1990. The list of the simulants produced given in the paper is the most comprehensive one and it includes not only all of the types given in ...

Abstract Because the lunar soil is darker than its parent rocks, it is often assumed that some process such as radiation darkening must have affected it. It is shown that the unusually high opaque mineral content of lunar rocks alone could account for the generally low albedo of the soil.

Reviews of Geophysics, 1975
The moon is covered with a thin layer of unconsolidated debris called the lunar regolith. A typical sample of this regolith could be characterized as a gray, poorly sorted pebble‐ or cobble‐bearing silty sand having a bulk density of about 1.5 g/cm³. It consists of lithic and mineral fragments mostly from the local underlying bedrock and glass formed ...

Journal of Terramechanics, 1964
The great research effort that has been mobilized to attempt solution of lunar exploration problems involving properties of soils and rocks on the Moon is summarized and reviewed. Current (1963) research activity has been examined within the framework of five categories: (1) Exploration and mapping of the lunar surface; (2) lunar soil formation and the

Abstract Recent laboratory experimental evidence concerning the photometric properties of the lunar surface materials, as well as the Surveyor I photographs, have thrown considerable doubt on the highly underdense, “fairy castle” model of the uppermost lunar surface layer.
