Estimation of energy and material use of sintering-based construction for a lunar outpost - with the example of SinterHab module design [PDF]

, 2015
In this paper, we would revisit the usability of microwave for lunar regolith sintering through an in-depth experiment, and examine the minimum materials and energy required for sintering based on the SinterHab design.

Ground-penetrating radar investigation of regolith thickness on a periglacial alpine summit flat, Uinta Mountains, Utah, USA

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research
Summit flats are low-relief, gently sloping landforms common in periglacial mountain environments. Apart from at their edges where summit flats are truncated by glacial headwalls and at their crests where isolated tors are occasionally present, bedrock ...

Radiation Exposure and Shielding Effects on the Lunar Surface

Space Weather
The Moon will be a primary target for human space exploration in the near future. A limiting factor for a crewed mission to the Moon is the radiation dose during their stay on the lunar surface.

Determination of the Dynamic Angle of Repose of Lunar Regolith Simulants

Geosciences
The determination of the dynamic angle of repose (DAR) of lunar regolith simulants is essential for modeling material behavior during in situ resource utilization (ISRU) processes and lunar surface operations.

Olivine or Impact Melt: Nature of the "Orange" Material on Vesta from Dawn

, 2013
NASA's Dawn mission observed a great variety of colored terrains on asteroid (4) Vesta during its survey with the Framing Camera (FC). Here we present a detailed study of the orange material on Vesta, which was first observed in color ratio images ...
