Thermal Optical Properties of Lunar Dust Simulants and Their Constituents [PDF]
The total reflectance spectra of lunar simulant dusts (less than 20 micrometer particles) were measured in order to determine their integrated solar absorptance (alpha) and their thermal emittance (e) for the purpose of analyzing the effect of dust on ...
