Investigating the moon's regolith records in preparation for surface mission investigations

该项目的目标是确定高地风化层的上部是如何受到撞击事件的扰动的，这些扰动是何时发生的，确定月球与空间环境之间的相互作用，并调查月球风化层中挥发物的来源。调查结果将为月球最近的撞击历史和风化层的演变提供证据，这两个都是高度优先的月球科学目标，并将有助于规划和表面科学活动的前景使命科学小组。

The project goals are to determine how the upper portion of the highlands regolith has been disturbed by impact events, when these disturbances occurred, characterise interactions between the Moon and the space environment, and investigate the source(s) of volatiles in the lunar regolith. Findings will provide evidence for the recent impact history of the Moon and the evolution of the regolith, which are both high priority lunar science goals, and will assist in planning and surface science activities for the PROSPECT mission Science Team.
