Self-Organization Characteristics of Lunar Regolith Inferred by Yutu-2 Lunar Penetrating Radar
Remote Sensing, 2021 Most previous studies tend to simplify the lunar regolith as a homogeneous medium. However, the lunar regolith is not completely homogeneous, because there are weak reflections from the lunar regolith layer.

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 Bioregenerative life support systems (BLSS) are conceived of and developed so as to provide food sources for crewed missions to the Moon or Mars. The in situ resource utilization (ISRU) approach aims to reduce terrestrial input into a BLSS by using ...

Farming on Mars: Treatment of basaltic regolith soil and briny water simulants sustains plant growth
PLoS ONE, 2022 A fundamental challenge in human missions to Mars is producing consumable foods efficiently with the in situ resources such as soil, water, nutrients and solar radiation available on Mars.

A regolith lead isoscape of Australia
Earth System Science Data, 2023 Abstract. We present the first national-scale lead (Pb) isotope maps of Australia based on surface regolith for five isotope ratios, 206Pb/204Pb, 207Pb/204Pb, 208Pb/204Pb, 207Pb/206Pb, and 208Pb/206Pb, determined by single-collector sector field inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry after an ammonium acetate leach followed by aqua regia ...

Intricate Regolith Reworking Processes Revealed by Microstructures on Lunar Impact Glasses
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2022 Glasses cooled from impact melt and vapor are a common component in lunar regolith, carrying important information about protolith composition, regolith formation, and impact flux on the Moon.
