Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2014 A lunar long duration method which utilizes a characteristic of a very low thermal conductivity of lunar regolith has been proposed. The principle of this method is to put heater in desired depth of the regolith and heat up the regolith layer during ...

Bedrock geochemistry influences vegetation growth by regulating the regolith water holding capacity
Nature Communications, 2020 Although low vegetation productivity has been observed in karst regions, whether and how bedrock geochemistry contributes to the low karstic vegetation productivity remain unclear.

Mid-Pleistocene transition in glacial cycles explained by declining CO2 and regolith removal
Science Advances, 2019 Model simulations reveal the importance of atmospheric CO2 and glacial erosion of regolith for Quaternary climate dynamics. Variations in Earth’s orbit pace the glacial-interglacial cycles of the Quaternary, but the mechanisms that transform regional and

EAC-1A: A novel large-volume lunar regolith simulant
Scientific Reports, 2020 The European Astronaut Centre (EAC) is currently constructing the European Lunar Exploration Laboratory (LUNA), a large training and operations facility to be located adjacent to EAC at the DLR (German Aerospace Centre) campus in Cologne, Germany.

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 ...

Economic Geology, 2020 Subtropical weathering of granitic catchments in South China has led to the formation of numerous giant regolith-hosted rare earth element (REE) deposits that currently account for more than 15% of global REE production and more than 95% of global ...

Properties of Lunar Regolith on the Moon's Farside Unveiled by Chang'E‐4 Lunar Penetrating Radar
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2021 The complex thermal history of the Moon leads to an unequal distribution of volcanic products between the lunar nearside and the farside. So far, no lunar materials have been sampled from the Moon's farside and no detailed properties of lunar regolith on
