Abstract

Two cases of mineral associations from the samples of regolith delivered by AS Luna 20 and AS Luna 24, which indicate possible hydrothermal alteration of primary lunar rocks, are considered. The probability of hydrothermal processes on the Moon means a drastic change in the firm views of the processes of the formation of lunar mineral.
