The feasibility of using the lunar orbital radio detector to detect radio signals from cascades initiated by ultra-high-energy cosmic rays interacting with the lunar regolith is studied. Simulation by the Monte Carlo method demonstrates that, with the regolith thickness randomly distributed in the range 2-12 m, the detection of radio signals reflected from the lower boundary of the regolith (for particle energies W ≥ 1020 eV) increases the number of valid events severalfold. The additional contribution due to the reflected radio-frequency radiation greatly enhances the scientific potential of experiments with the lunar orbital radio detector.
