From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 4475-4514, October 2026.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Automatic Crater Classification Using a Deep‐Learning‐Based Pipeline

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Identifying and classifying impact craters on Mars is crucial for understanding the planet's geological history and surface evolution. Traditional crater classification relies on manual annotation methods, which are often limited by human biases and the difficulty of interpreting geomorphological features.

Elastic Properties of Titan Tholins Revealed by Brillouin Spectroscopy

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Titan tholins, complex organic solids synthesized by simulating photochemical processes in Titan's atmosphere, are widely regarded as analogs to organic surface materials on the Saturnian moon. Their mechanical properties are critical for understanding the evolution of Titan's geomorphology and crustal layering.

Gravitational capture opportunites for asteroid retrieval missions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Asteroids and comets are of strategic importance for science in an effort to uncover the formation, evolution and composition of the Solar System. Near-Earth objects (NEOs) are of particular interest because of its accessibility from Earth, but also ...

Integrating fossil data in ecological niche models to improve predictions of future habitat of Caribbean corals

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Ecological niche models (ENMs) are used to assess the abiotic preferences of species by linking their occurrences to the environmental conditions in which they live. We developed a fossil‐informed ENM framework that integrates mid‐Holocene and modern occurrences to test niche stability and reconstruct abiotic niche characteristics for four ...

Utopia Remembers: The Soviet Past in the Imagined Communist Future

open access: yesThe Russian Review, Volume 85, Issue 4, Page 478-494, October 2026.
Abstract After a twenty‐five‐year hiatus, the reappearance of utopian literature in 1957 prompted Soviet literary watchdogs to corral the subgenre into an ideologically‐acceptable mold. A key requirement was for future generations to be depicted as reverently commemorating the past.

Probing Subsurface Properties With Mission Hardware: Lessons Learned From Artificial Impacts of Mars 2020

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Hardware released during spacecraft entry can generate hypervelocity impacts that provide unique constraints on planetary subsurface properties. During NASA's Perseverance descent, two tungsten cruise ballast mass devices (CBMD) and fragments of the cruise stage formed meter‐scale craters north‐west of Jezero crater, in one of the sinuous ...
