The ability of the lunar surface to support statically the Luna 9 capsule indicates that the surface can bear at least 5 × 103 dyne per square centimeter (10-1 lb/in.2). Analysis of the landing dynamics, using available data, gives a lower bound of about 1 to 2 × 105 dyne/cm2, but this estimate may not be conservative because of uncertainties regarding the shock-absorbing system used and the direction of the velocity vector at impact.
