The lunar surface is virtually entirely covered by regolith. Exploration will require interaction with the material, and its potential use for infrastructure and fuel may be vital to support future exploration activities. Engineering challenges and issues that must be addressed in order to utilize and work with the lunar regolith are identified through examination of its geotechnical properties.
