Lunar soils, especially their &lt;1 mm fraction, constitute the only primary standards for remotely sensing the composition of small airless planetary bodies. Therefore, maintaining the integrity, especially of the &lt;1 mm fraction, takes on a much larger, big picture responsibility. A possibility has been suggested that lunar soils may disintegrate (to smaller grain sizes) if exposed to the Earth's moist atmosphere, thus losing some of their intrinsic value to science. We have tested that possibility by multiple, independent reanalyses with three techniques (wet‐sieving in water and in alcohol, and laser diffractometry) using a fresh allocation of Apollo 17 “orange soil,” 74220. Our results are very similar to each other despite repeated soaking–drying in water, and also to those originally determined in the 1970s. We have also used a laser diffractometry technique to reanalyze the grain sizes of ~50 mg splits of eight soils that were initially analyzed three to four decades ago. The results are randomly different from previous measurements, which we attribute to nonrepresentative subsampling of very small amounts from previous allocations; ~50 mg is too small for obtaining representative aliquots. The results of grain‐size analyses presented and discussed in this study indicate that the integrity of the lunar soil 74220, and indeed, all lunar soils, has not been physically compromised in the last four decades.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1086-9379</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1945-5100</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1111/maps.13060</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Hoboken: Wiley Subscription Services, Inc</publisher><subject>Alcohols ; Allocations ; Disintegration ; Integrity ; Lasers ; Lunar soil ; Remote sensing ; Soil analysis ; Soils</subject><ispartof>Meteoritics &amp; planetary science, 2018-05, Vol.53 (5), p.1096-1103</ispartof><rights>The Meteoritical Society, 2018.</rights><rights>Copyright © 2018 The Meteoritical Society</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><oa>free_for_read</oa><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-a4260-299703f4abd81927bcd846790e9dc2ec776dc8f4295efb3b2c2037d584d0d4273</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-a4260-299703f4abd81927bcd846790e9dc2ec776dc8f4295efb3b2c2037d584d0d4273</cites><orcidid>0000-0001-7261-4587 ; 0000-0002-1313-7597</orcidid></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111%2Fmaps.13060$$EPDF$$P50$$Gwiley$$H</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111%2Fmaps.13060$$EHTML$$P50$$Gwiley$$H</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>314,780,784,1417,1433,27924,27925,45574,45575,46409,46833</link.rule.ids></links><search><creatorcontrib>Taylor, L.
