ID No : | 976 Edit | Title: | Transient Thermal Model and Analysis of the Lunar Surface and Regolith for Cryogenic Fluid Storage |
Summary / Review : | "A transient thermal model of the lunar surface and regolith was developed along with analytical techniques which will be used to evaluate the storage of cryogenic fluids at equatorial and polar landing sites. The model can provide lunar surface and subsurface temperatures as a function of latitude and time throughout the lunar cycle and season. It also accounts for the presence of or lack of the undisturbed fluff layer on the lunar surface. The model was validated with Apollo 15 and Clementine data and shows good agreement with other analytical models." (Author's abstract) |
