Scientific paper

Spectral reflectance properties of the lunar regolith change as the regolith "matures" with exposure to the space environment; a regolith composed of fragments from freshly disaggregated rock is lighter, is less red, and has more spectral contrast than the same regolith after it has received lengthy exposure to the solar wind, cosmic charged particles, and micrometeorite impact. In this work we discuss some aspects of lunar regolith maturity based on the study of Apollo regolith samples that may be important to interpretation of data obtained remotely.
