Increased Concentrations of Lunar Dust Associated with a Denser Lunar Atmosphere Resulting from Heightened Human Presence and Activity on the Moon
Abstract
A heightened human presence on the Moon will likely raise the atmospheric mass-density via three primary sources: spacecraft exhaust, habitat leakage, and mining of the lunar regolith, in total contributing around 1500 g/s.
