Dielectric Spectroscopy for Scientific and Resource Characterization of Lunar Regolith
Introduction: Dielectric spectroscopy (DS) can noninvasively detect electrical properties over a wide frequency range (1 mHz – 10 kHz) at depths ranging from 10s cm to 10s m. Electrical properties vary directly with density and mineralogy. Therefore, DS can determine the subsurface distribution of water ice, adsorbed water, ilmenite, and possibly Fe. Understanding the subsurface distribution of...
متن کاملStandard Lunar Regolith Simulants for Space Resource Utilization Technologies Development: Effects of Materials Choices
Introduction: As NASA turns its exploration ambitions towards the Moon once again, the research and development of new technologies for lunar operations face the challenge of meeting the milestones of a fast-pace schedule, reminiscent of the 1960's Apollo program. While the lunar samples returned by the Apollo and Luna missions have revealed much about the Moon, these priceless materials exist ...
متن کاملScientific and Resource Characterization of Lunar Regolith Using Dielectric
Introduction: Water ice and ilmenite both have unique dielectric responses that can be used to detect their concentration as a function of depth, noninvasively from the lunar surface. Electrical measurements at the surface can also be used to determine the density of the lunar regolith. Subsurface water ice may exist in permanently shadowed regions near the poles of the Moon [1-6]. The presence...
متن کاملThe 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 ...
