ABSTRACT
In Paper I of this series, we show that transient lunar phenomena (TLPs)
correlate with lunar outgassing, geographically, based on surface radon release
episodes versus the visual record of telescopic observers (the later prone to major
systematic biases of unspecified nature, which we were able to constrain in
Paper I). In Paper II we calculate some of the basic predictions that this insight
implies, in terms of outgassing/regolith interactions. In this paper we propose
a path forward, in which current and forthcoming technology provide a more
controlled and sensitive probe of lunar outgassing. Many of these techniques are
currently being realized for the first time.
Given the optical transient/outgassing connection, progress can be made
by Earth-based remote sensing, and we suggest several programs of imaging,
spectroscopy and combinations thereof. However, as found in Paper II, many
aspects of lunar outgassing seem likely to be covert in nature. TLPs betray
some outgassing, but not all outgassing produces TLPs. Some outgassing may
never appear at the surface, but remain trapped in the regolith.
As well as passive remote sensing, we also suggest more intrusive techniques,
from radar mapping to in-situ probes. Understanding these volatiles seems
promising in terms of their exploitation as a resource for human presence on the
Moon and beyond, and offers an interesting scientific goal in its own right.
This paper reads, therefore, as a series of proposed techniques, some in
practice, some which might be soon, and some requiring significant future
investment (some of which may prove unwise pending results from predecessor
