Far-Ultraviolet Photometric Characteristics of JSC-1A and LMS-1 Lunar Regolith Simulants: Comparative Investigations with Apollo 10084
<p>The .txt files listed here contain the data used for Figure 3 and Supplemental Figure S3 of the paper titled "Far-Ultraviolet Photometric Characteristics of JSC-1A and LMS-1 Lunar Regolith Simulants: Comparative Investigations with Apollo 10084." The experimentally derived phase curves are contained in the files which have the material name (JSC-1A, LMS-1, or Apollo 10084) followed by the wavelength alone (Lyman-a, 140 nm, 160 nm) in the file name. All files with "Hapke" in the file name are the Hapke photometric model (Hapke, 2012) fitted phase curves for the associated experimental data. Two of the JSC-1A files have either "LT38" or "GT150" included in the file name; these are the sieved grain size category data referenced in S3.</p> <p>Also included are .txt files of the data points used in Figure 4 for the JSC-1A and LMS-1 simulants. These each have "Fig4" in the file name.</p>
Datasets for Morphological and Spectral Characterization of Lunar Regolith Breakdown due to Water Ice
<p>Remote sensing observations of the Moon suggest that the lunar polar regolith environment is affected by several natural processes that may cause the regolith in these regions to become more porous and fine particulate. One of these processes may be the mechanical breakdown of regolith particles through the interaction of water ice and regolith by frost wedging. We present morphological and spectral analyses of high-fidelity lunar regolith simulants LHS-1 (lunar highlands simulant-1) and LMS-1 (lunar mare simulant-1) that have been exposed to varying concentrations of water ice (1, 10, and 30 wt%) over extended periods of time (1, 3, and 6 months) to evaluate the extent at which lunar regolith may be weathered by ice-regolith interactions in the Moon’s polar regions. To characterize changes in regolith particle morphology, we explored grain size and shape parameters with the CILAS ExpertShape suite and characterized the abundance and evolution of clinging fines with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Reflectance spectra were taken from 1.0 – 22.5 µm (444.4 - 10,000 cm<sup>-1</sup>) to characterize any differences in spectral features that may occur as a result of regolith breakdown. Both the morphological and spectral investigations display trends that show simulant particle degradation as a function of composition, increasing water concentration, and freezing time. Our study demonstrates that the lunar regolith is susceptible to mechanical breakdown in the presence of water ice and that water ice is likely a contributor to the weathering environment within permanently shadowed regions on the lunar surface.</p> <p>This dataset contains all spectra, SEM images, and ExpertShape images/results used to conduct this work.</p>

Plants grown in Apollo lunar regolith present stress-associated transcriptomes that inform prospects for lunar exploration
The extent to which plants can enhance human life support on other worlds depends on the ability of plants to thrive in extraterrestrial environments using in situ resources. Using samples from Apollo 11, 12 and 17, we show that the terrestrial plant Arabidopsis thaliana germinates and grows in diverse lunar regoliths. However, our results show that growth is challenging; the lunar regolith plants were slow to develop, expressed genes indicative of ionic stresses, and many showed severe stress morphologies. Therefore, although in situ lunar regolith can be useful for plant production in lunar habitats, they are not benign substrates. The interaction between plants and lunar regolith will need to be further elucidated, and likely mitigated, to enable efficient use of lunar regolith for life support.
