Resources for a lunar base: Rocks, minerals, and soil of the Moon [PDF]
The rocks and minerals of the Moon will be included among the raw materials used to construct a lunar base. The lunar regolith, the fragmental material present on the surface of the Moon, is composed mostly of disaggregated rocks and minerals, but also ...

Journal of Earth System Science, 2005 Back scattered electron and transmission electron imaging of lunar soil grains reveal an abundance of submicrometer-sized pure Fe0 globules that occur in the rinds of many soil grains and in the submillimeter sized vesicular glass-cemented grains called agglutinates. Grain rinds are amorphous silicates that were deposited on grains exposed at the lunar

Reactions of atmospheric vapors with lunar soil [PDF]
, 1976 Detailed experimental data have been acquired for the hydration of the surfaces of lunar fines. Inert vapor adsorption has been employed to measure the surface properties (surface energy, surface area, porosity, etc.) and changes wrought in the hydration-dehydration processes.

Soil mechanics on the Moon, Mars, and Mulberry [PDF]
From a soil mechanics point of view, the Moon is a relatively simple place. Without any water, organics, or clay minerals, the geotechnical properties of the lunar soil are confined to a fairly limited range.

Regolith as raw material for the production of aggregates and concrete-like composites on the Moon [PDF]
Archives of Civil EngineeringThe presented research program is focused on harnessing lunar regolith as raw material for the production of aggregates and concrete-like composites on the Moon. The proposed complex technological solution covers technology of lunar aggregate production,

Thermochemical energy storage for a lunar base [PDF]
A thermochemical solar energy storage concept involving the reversible reaction CaO + H2O yields Ca(OH)2 is proposed as a power system element for a lunar base. The operation and components of such a system are described. The CaO/H2O system is capable of
