Scientific paper

A direct investigation of the thermal and electrical properties of lunar soil scooped up by the automatic Luna-20 Soviet lunar vehicle on the continental regions of the moon (in the neighborhood of crater Apollonius C) is reported. Lunar continental regolith (mantle rock) and lunar maria regolith (collected by the Soviet Luna-16 vehicle) are compared, their principal constituents being anorthosite (stratimorphic) type rock comprising mostly plagioclases of basic composition. Finely pulverized anorthosite, finely pulverized basalt, and andesite-basaltic sand were analyzed as terrestrial analogs of the lunar soil material (specific weight, thermal conductivity, specific heat, particle size, contents of various oxides, thermal diffusivity, frequency-dependent permittivity, loss tangent).
