Robotic drilling tests in simulated lunar regolith environment
J. Field Robotics, 2021A deep extraterrestrial drilling mission potentially adds a new level of complexity, and it is crucial to understand the associated challenges. To cope with China's Chang'E 5 mission to return subsurface regolith samples from the Moon, a series of ...

Contaminants in the Lunar Regolith
Астрономический вестник, 2023The lunar regolith delivered to Earth in the 1970s by the Soviet automatic stations Luna-16, -20, and -24, despite the small amount of material, is of great value for science and requires careful study. How ever, since soil samples have gone quite a long way from the moment of extraction to direct examination, there is a danger of possible ...

Re-Evaluating Influence of Rocks on Microwave Thermal Emission of Lunar Regolith Using CE-2 MRM Data
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2021The influence of rocks on the microwave thermal emission (MTE) of the lunar regolith has not been fully studied with the four-channel microwave radiometer (MRM) data onboard Chang'e-1/2 satellites.

It is generally believed that the top centimeters of mature lunar regolith should be dominated by fine particles that contain few rocky fragments, but surface fragments are occasionally visible in mature lunar regolith.

Simulating Martian regolith in the laboratory
Planetary and Space Science, 2008Abstract Regolith and dust cover the surfaces of the Solar Systems solid bodies, and thus constitute the visible surface of these objects. The topmost layers also interact with space or the atmosphere in the case of Mars, Venus and Titan. Surface probes have been proposed, studied and flown to some of these worlds.

The Evolution of the Lunar Regolith
Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 1977layer (regolith) was known long before the first soft landings, though its properties were not clearly understood. Nearly all our present knowledge derives from samples returned from the Moon, and secondarily from observations made on the surface or from lunar orbit.

The analysis of water in the Martian regolith
Journal of Molecular Evolution, 1979One of the scientific objectives of the Viking Mission to Mars was to accomplish an analysis of water in the Martian regolith. The analytical scheme originally envisioned was severely compromised in the latter stages of the Lander instrument package design. Nevertheless, a crude soil water analysis was accomplished.

Lunar Regolith at Tranquillity Base
Science, 1970The 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.

Abstract Australian regolith materials are described, many of which are complex. Much Australian regolith dates back to the Tertiary, Mesozoic or earlier. There is a progressive change in the nature of alluvium through the Tertiary. Aridity, revealed through sand dunes and evaporites, is confined to the Quaternary.

The amount of pore space in most unweathered granite is too small to support a plant-based ecosystem. But porosity grows as intact rock interacts with surface waters beneath the soil.
