Scientific paper

Results are reviewed for measurements of lunar-soil density conducted in terrestrial laboratories, on the moon, and by lunar-orbiting spacecraft. Determinations of the density of the lunar surface layer in various regions by different methods are compared. It is shown that the surface layer of the moon corresponds best to a depth variation of density with a surface density of 1.2 g/cu cm, substratum densities of 3.2 g/cu cm for mare regions and 2.9 g/cu cm for other regions, and a mean regolith depth of 5 m. Data obtained in different areas on the moon indicate that the surface density varies from 0.6 to 3.0 cu cm while the regolith depth ranges from 0.4 to 40 m.
