Scientific paper

The papers consider the origin and evolution of the lunar regolith utilizing data obtained during American and Soviet manned and unmanned lunar missions as well as surface and orbital observations, photography, sample collections, and experimental studies. Topics include the transport and emplacement of crater and basin deposits, development of the mare regolith, the shallow lunar structure as determined from the passive seismic experiment, horizontal transport of the regolith, the origin of the exotic component and KREEP-rich materials, the influx of interplanetary materials onto the moon, stratification in the lunar regolith, catastrophic rupture of lunar rocks, cosmic-ray exposure ages of surface features, breccia formation by sintering and crystallization, evolution of the lunar soil, and effects of maturation on the reflectance of the regolith. Individual items are announced in this issue.
