Continuously (“Permanently”) Shadowed Lunar Regolith Sampled by Apollo 17: Key Tests of Regolith Temperature Storage for Artemis [#2170]
Apollo 17 shadowed lunar samples 76240 and sunlit sample 79181 provide insights into the nature of regolith in permanent shadow at high lunar latitudes.

Searching for the Missing Top Few mm of the Uppermost Lunar Surface Using Cosmogenic Radionuclides [#1793]
To investigate the properties of the uppermost lunar surface regolith, cosmogenic nuclides in Apollo 16 special samples, including 69004 (velvet cloth), were measured.
