The Lunar Regolith
Regolith is a terrestrial term, also used for the Moon. It has been defined as " a general term for the layer or mantle of fragmental and unconsolidated rock material, whether residual or transported and of highly varied character, that nearly everywhere forms the surface of the land and overlies or covers bedrock. It includes rock debris of all kinds, [including] volcanic ash. .. " (Bates and ...
متن کاملEvaluations of lunar regolith simulants
Apollo lunar regolith samples are not available in quantity for engineering studies with In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU). Therefore, with expectation of a return to the Moon, dozens of regolith (soil) simulants have been developed, to some extent a result of inefficient distribution of NASA-sanctioned simulants. In this paper, we review many of these simulants, with evaluations of their sho...
متن کاملImage-Directed Sampling for Geometric Modeling of Lunar Terrain
Geometric modeling from range scanners can be vastly improved by sampling the scene with a Nyquist criterion. This work presents a method to estimate frequency content a priori from intensity imagery using wavelet analysis and to utilize these estimates in efficient single-view sampling. The key idea is that under certain constrained and estimable image fo rmation conditions, images are a stron...
متن کاملLunar Impact History from Meteorite Impact Melt Clasts and Lessons Learned for Lunar Surface Sampling
Introduction: One of the important outstanding goals of lunar science is understanding the bombardment history of the Moon and calibrating the impact flux curve for extrapolation to the Earth and other terrestrial planets. Obtaining a sample from a carefully-characterized interior melt sheet or a ring massif is a reliable way to tell a single crater's age. A different but complementary approach...
