Scientific paper
A planetary regolith is any layer of fragments, unconsolidated material that may or may not be textually or compositionally altered relative to underlying substrate and occurs on the outer surface of a solar system body. This includes fragmented material from volcanic, sedimentary, and meteoritic infall sources, and derived by any process (e.g. impact and all other endogenic or exogenic processes). Many measurements that can be made from orbit or from Earth-based observations provide information only about the uppermost portions of a regolith and not the underlying substrate(s). Thus an understanding of the formation processes, physical properties, composition, and evolution of planetary regoliths is essential in answering scientific questions posed by the Committee on Planetary and Lunar Exploration (COMPLEX). This paper provides examples of measurements required to answer these critical science questions.
