Abstract
The coupling of seismic energy under vacuum conditions, such as the moon, using an untamped surface charge is different from coupling in air. In vacuum, the explosive gas blast and the detonation products continuously expand out ward and interact with the solid surface. A series of model experiments was performed to investigate the effect of vacuum on coupling seismic energy.
