Scientific paper

Thermal expansion measurements were made on fourteen kinds of rock over a temperature range of approximately -140°C to 950°C. Chosen as likely to be representative of those to be found on the lunar surface, these rocks include a broad range of physical and chemical compositions from the large areas of volcanism in Oregon and northern California, and two non-volcanic types. Analysis was performed on the expansion data that produced a direct plot of instantaneous coefficient of thermal expansion as a function of temperature. The data presented will add to the basic scientific and engineering knowledge needed to utilize extraterrestrial mineral resources for support of future space missions.
