Asteroidal Regolith

Asteroidal Regolith is a type of planetary regolith composed of fragmented rock and dust material produced by impact and space weathering processes specifically on the surfaces of asteroids, distinguished from regolith on planets or moons by its formation in microgravity environments and its unique compositional and structural characteristics derived from primitive, unmelted precursor materials.
