Scientific paper

The following topics are addressed: (1) the frequency of encountering boulders that represent hazards to lunar operations; (2) the ease of lunar soil excavation; (3) the use of explosives in excavation operation; (4) the trafficability of the regolith; (5) problems encountered in mining (probably strip mining) of the regolith; (6) the stable angle(s) of repose in excavation of the regolith; (7) the layering to be encountered in the subsurface; (8) knowledge of the regolith site and the possibility of its general application to any site on the lunar surface; (9) the data needed to characterize a site for a lunar base; (10) the influence of regolith properties on the design of geophysical experiments from the lunar base; and (11) terrestrial analogues for the geophysical properties of the lunar regolith.
