Sintering lunar regolith pellets: a comparison of four samples from Apollo 11, 15, and 16
Lunar regolith sintering is proposed as a technique to produce consolidated objects on the lunar surface from locally sourced materials. Understanding the sintering behaviour of real lunar regolith is necessary to optimise this process, however, due to ...

Thin regolith layer anticipated on the surface of the Tianwen-2 target asteroid (469219) Kamo‘oalewa
Context. Near-Earth asteroid (469219) Kamo‘oalewa is the first target of the ongoing Tianwen-2 sample-return mission. Ground-based observations measured its rotation period at only about 28 minutes, while the low thermal inertia value (Γ = 150 or 181 J m−

Numerical Study of Cone Penetration Tests in Lunar Regolith for Strength Index
The cohesive properties of lunar regolith, combined with a low-gravity environment, result in it having a distinct mechanical behavior from sandy soil on Earth.
