Determination of the mechanical and physical properties of the lunar soil as a function and depth beneath the surface assists in the interpretation of experiments such as active and passive seismology, heat flow and core sampling, which have been conducted on the Moon and will be resumed when lunar development is underway in the next century. Such data on the mechanical and physical properties are required for the construction of a lunar base. We anticipate using soil mechanics data to design foundations for telescopes and other structures on the Moon. The predictions of the performance of lunar vehicles rest upon an understanding of lunar soil properties.
