LUNAR RADIO EMISSION

Abstract

Measurements of lunar radio emission on wavelengths of from 0.4 to 3.2 cm conclusively show that the surface layer of the moon is approximately homogeneous, at least to a depth of about a meter. These findings invalidate the hypothesized two-layer structure. To compare the electrical parameters of lunar and terrestrial rocks, measurements were made of the angle of loss and of the dielectric constant of volcanic rocks. (Author)
