Description

Technical Field

With its unique spatial position and broad prospects for scientific exploration, it has become the first choice for human exploration and utilization of extraterrestrial bodies. It is also the first choice for countries to strategically seize the field of deep space exploration. At present, the analysis of lunar samples is one of the main goals of the current lunar exploration program. Lunar samples not only contain relevant geological information such as the internal structure and evolutionary history of the lunar crust, but also contain important information in the fields of early evolutionary history of the solar system, solar wind properties and radiation characteristics, and meteorite impact records. Interpreting these intertwined information in the samples is a major challenge and breakthrough in the study of the moon, the earth, and even the solar system. Detecting the lunar surface environment, geological structure, resource and energy distribution, and utilization prospects can provide support for the long-term sustainable development of human society. The collection and analysis of lunar soil samples is an important part of the lunar resource exploration mission, and it also provides reliable technical support for humans to establish lunar bases and develop lunar resources in the future. Compared with loose and disordered lunar soil samples, profile samples with bedding information can more fully reflect the geological structure, evolutionary history, and distribution of mineral resources on the lunar surface, and are the preferred targets in the sampling mission.
