Dust & Regolith

Lunar regolith is the broken up rock that comprises most of the lunar surface down to several meters) that has been generated over eons due primarily to impacts and micrometeorite bombardment. Any systems operating on the lunar surface will interact with the regolith, and most remote-sensing systems interrogate primarily the upper mm of the surface. Our current understanding of lunar regolith characteristics comes from samples returned from the Apollo missions, some in situ measurements, and remote sensing data.
