Development of Standardized Lunar Regolith Simulant Materials

Precise Measurement of Lunar Spectral Irradiance at Visible Wavelengths

We report a measurement of lunar spectral irradiance with an uncertainty below 1 % from 420 nm to 1000 nm. This measurement uncertainty meets the stability requirement for many climate data records derived from satellite images, including those for vegetation, aerosols, and snow and ice albedo. It therefore opens the possibility of using the Moon as a calibration standard to bridge gaps in sate...

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 ...
