Diffuse reflection spectra of lunar regolith samples extracted at depths of 118 and 184 cm by the Soviet probe Luna 24 showing minima near 3, 5 and 6 μm, valence-vibration bands for water molecules. On 18 August 1976, the Soviet Luna 24 probe landed at Mare Crisium , took samples from depths of 118, 143, and 184 cm of the lunar regolith , and ...
