Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022 Boulders are an important material in debris flow and their source is coupled with spheroidal weathering profiles that produce corestones. The goal of this work was to establish the geochemical transformations that produced corestones and distinguished ...

Efficient Haptic Rendering of Regolith [PDF]
2021 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2021 Driven by the need for physically accurate and haptically convincing models of lunar and planetary regolith for model-mediated teleoperation in space, we present an approach to modelling regolith in an efficient yet realistic way. Model parameters are derived from physical characteristics of the regolith, to render regoliths with different density ...

Effect of Target Properties on Regolith Production
Remote SensingBased on the measurements of regolith thicknesses on the lunar maria (basalts), the lunar regolith was determined to have accumulated at a rate of about 1 m/Gyr since the era of the late heavy bombardment.

Evidence of space weathering in regolith breccias II: Asteroidal regolith breccias [PDF]
Meteoritics & Planetary Science, 2010 Space weathering products, such as agglutinates and nanophaase iron-bearing rims are easily preserved through lithifcation in lunar regolith breccias, thus such products, if produced, should be preserved in asteroidal regotith breccias as well. A study of representative regolith breecia meteorites, Fayetteville (H4) and Kapoeta (howardite), was ...

The circular nutrient economy of terrestrial ecosystems and the consequences for rock weathering
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023 Earth’s biosphere is thought to exert a substantial influence on regolith evolution and chemical weathering rates. However, ecosystems are also highly efficient at retaining and recycling nutrients.

Making parts on Mars: Laser processing of iron contaminated by regolith simulant
Materials Today AdvancesManufacturing pure metals on Mars is challenging due to limited energy resources and unavoidable contamination of raw materials and production equipment with the Martian dust (regolith) resulting in impure materials.

Structure and Formation Mechanism of Lunar Regolith
Space: Science & TechnologyLunar regolith is a thin layer of weakly cohesive detrital materials covering the lunar surface. Studies on returned lunar samples have revealed that the lunar regolith mainly consists of fragments of rocks, minerals, breccia, glasses, and agglutinates ...
