Granular Lunar Soils
About this book
Granular Lunar Soils outlines the unique characteristics and challenges of lunar soils and dust, while offering insights into the behaviour of an extreme type of granular material. Bringing together key experts on the subject, this book is a gateway to ground-breaking work in further understanding lunar regolith, the lunar environment, and utilization of lunar materials. From the fundamentals of the lunar soil and the unique environmental conditions that lead to charging and cohesion of particles, to the practical questions of resource extraction and engineering of habitats with lunar materials and considerations of in-situ resource utilization, this book provides a broad reference and access to our current understanding of how to survive on the lunar surface.
This book is essential in helping develop a framework for a science-based mitigation method and is useful for scientists and engineers from NASA and other space agencies, faculty and students, and the growing number of private business entities.
