Lunar Regolith at Tranquillity Base

Science, 1970
The regolith at Tranquillity Base is a layer of fragmental debris that ranges in thickness from about 3 to 6 meters. The thickness of the regolith and the exposure histories of its constituent fragments can be related, by means of a relatively simple model, to the observed crater distribution.

Predicting residual friction angle of lunar regolith based on Chang'e-5 lunar samples.

Science Bulletin, 2023
With the rapid development of human lunar exploration projects, the lunar base establishment and resource utilization are on the way, and hence it is urgent and significant to reasonably predict engineering properties of the lunar regolith, which remains

Guidelines for Analysis and Description of Soil and Regolith Thin Sections

ASA, CSSA, and SSSA Books, 2020
For communication on observations it is very important that a clear, unambiguous terminology is used. This is especially true if one wants to compare observations made by different authors, and certainly when the construction of data bases is considered.

Fine-regolith production on asteroids controlled by rock porosity

Nature, 2021
Spacecraft missions have observed regolith blankets of unconsolidated subcentimetre particles on stony asteroids1–3. Telescopic data have suggested the presence of regolith blankets also on carbonaceous asteroids, including (101955) Bennu4 and (162173 ...

Hyperfine Structure of Regolith Unveiled by Chang’E-5 Lunar Regolith Penetrating Radar

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2022
This work presents the results of the Lunar Regolith Penetrating Radar (LRPR), installed at the bottom of the Chang’E-5 (CE-5) lander, which is the first antenna-array radar deployed for the investigation of an extraterrestrial body.
