Between the Artemis Program , the ESA's Moon Village , and the Sino-Russian International Lunar Research Station (ILRS), the next step in space exploration is clear: We're going back to the Moon, and this time, to stay! This plan requires significant investment, research, development, and strategies adapted to lunar conditions. In particular, mission planners are concerned about the hazard posed by lunar regolith (aka. "Moon dust"). In addition to being electrostatically charged, causing it to stick to literally any surface, it is incredibly fine and easily kicked up by rovers and spacecraft as they land and take off. To complicate matters further, lunar regolith is hazardous to astronaut health, leading to respiratory problems and potential long-term damage. Given its hazardous nature, it is therefore vital to understand the properties and mechanical behavior of lunar regolith.…
