Lunar meteoritic gardening rate derived from in situ LADEE/LDEX measurements

Chemical individuality of lunar, meteoritic, and terrestrial silicate rocks.

Thermal in Situ Measurements in the Lunar Regolith Using the Lunar–a Penetrators: an Outline of Data

The two penetrators to be launched in the LUNAR–A mission in 2003 by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, aim at investigating the internal structure of the Moon. Each penetrator is designed to conduct seismic and heat–flow experiments [2]. For determining the lunar heat–flow two parameters need to be measured: one is the thermal gradient @T=@z, the other is the thermal conductivit...

Evidence for surface water ice in the lunar polar regions using reflectance measurements from the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter and temperature measurements from the Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment

We find that the reflectance of the lunar surface within 5 ° of latitude of the South Pole increases rapidly with decreasing temperature, near ∼110 K, behavior consistent with the presence of surface water ice. The North polar region does not show this behavior, nor do South polar surfaces at latitudes more than 5 ° from the pole. This South pole reflectance anomaly persists when analysis is li...
