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

该项目的目标是确定高地表层如何受到撞击事件的干扰，何时发生这些扰动，描述月球与空间环境之间的相互作用，并调查月球表层挥发物的来源(S)。这些发现将为月球最近的撞击历史和风化层的演化提供证据，这两个目标都是高度优先的月球科学目标，并将有助于展望任务科学小组的规划和表面科学活动。

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.
