As NASA prepares to establish permanent habitats on the Moon, a significant first step is to be able to land multiple times in the same area. As was consistently shown during the Apollo program, the very fine granular structure of the lunar regolith (the Moon’s “soil”)poses significant physical and health challenges [1]. One of the most concerning is the hyper-velocity lunar surface ejecta that results from the engine exhaust that exits the rocket as it lands and takes off [2]. It has been determined that to mitigate this, the regolith must be consolidated.
