| ID No : | 616 Edit | Title: | Understanding the Physical Evolution of the Lunar Regolith Using LRO Data |
| Summary / Review : | "The lunar surface is covered by a layer of fragmental debris - the regolith - produced over billions of years by the physical disintegration of the surface materials by micro- to macroscopic scale impacts [1]. To first order, the process is mechanical, unlike the chemical processes that produce soils on the Earth. Because the lunar regolith is ubiquitous, it is the prism through which virtually all aspects of the Moon are seen. The regolith is also the surface on which lunar operations will be conducted and may serve as a resource. Thus, a detailed understanding of its properties and its evolution are necessary."
