Geothermal heat flow is obtained as a product of the two separate measurements of geothermal gradient in, and thermal conductivity of, the vertical soi/rock/regolith interval penetrated by the instrument. Heat flow measurements are a high priority for the geophysical network missions to the Moon recommended by the latest Decadal Survey (I) and previously the International Lunar Network (2). The two lunar-landing missions planned later this decade by JAXA (3) and ESA (4) also consider geothermal measurements a priority.
