Abstract:
We present the results of experiments conducted on a series of parabolic flights to determine the compaction of lunar regolith samples under the influence of reduced gravity. The two regolith simulants, JSC-1A and NU-LHT-2M, showed decreased compaction in lower gravity. On average the sample volumes expanded up to 108
