Abstract
null null Geotechnical properties of a granular material affect all surface operations from mobility to landing and excavation. As such, significant efforts to study and model these properties are necessary before sending a spacecraft. Lack of knowledge of regolith material properties adversely affected Apollo, Lunokhod, and Mars Exploration Rover missions; hence additional measures need to be undertaken to prevent potential failures or delays...
