Scientific paper

Lunar-orbiting spacecraft can use the moon's tenuous atmosphere to directly study the weathering and modification of the lunar surface layer and regolith, to study lunar activity through analysis of released gases, and to search for water that may be essential for lunar base sites. An effort is presently made the historical accumulation and current understanding of lunar atmosphere data, to which the Apollo landing made the most important contributions. The answers to remaining questions entail a robotic revisiting of the lunar surface.
