title = "Geotechnical and scientific characterization of lunar regolith for the purposes of lunar construction using regolith filled bags",
abstract = "As part of the LUNAR BRICS (Lunar Robotically Based Regolith Incorporated Construction) pathfinder mission, consideration was given to complementary scientific and geotechnical sensors and instrumentation. While the ultimate goal of the mission is to demonstrate lunar construction using regolith filled bags, it is imperative to study the physical and thermal properties of the surface and sub-surface so as to better understand both the bag filler material, as well as the supporting foundation. Several science and geotechnical goals, and their supporting instrumentation, are presented in meeting these objectives.",
