Sampling, Mobility, and Anchoring in Small‐Body Sampling Robots: A Comprehensive Review
SmartBot, EarlyView.Small‐body sampling robots are exploration systems that perform contact, sampling, and stable operations on microgravity bodies such as asteroids and comets. The authors review representative robot architectures and key technologies, focusing on the mechanisms, evolution, and coupling of sampling, mobility, and anchoring.

The Perturbed Full Two-body Problem: Application to Post-DART Didymos
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 With the successful impact of the NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft in the Didymos–Dimorphos binary asteroid system, we provide an initial analysis of the post-impact perturbed binary asteroid dynamics.

Laboratory Studies of Hypervelocity Impacts on Solar System Analogues [PDF]
, 2015 Impact cratering and asteroid collisions are major processes throughout the Solar System. Although previous collision-related impact investigations exist (Flynn et al. 2015, Holsapple et al. 2002 and Burchell et al.

Technologized Reproduction in Space: A Space‐Bioethical Case for Assisted Procreation
Bioethics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT With the increasing feasibility of space colonization, the issue of reproduction in space is becoming more relevant. As new settlements on the Moon, Mars, and other celestial bodies emerge, ensuring generational continuity will be essential for the survival and growth of these communities.

BYORP and Dissipation in Binary Asteroids: Lessons from DART
The Planetary Science JournalThe near-Earth binary asteroid Didymos was the target of the planetary defense demonstration mission DART in 2022 September. The smaller binary component, Dimorphos, was impacted by the spacecraft in order to measure momentum transfer in kinetic impacts ...

Ejecta Evolution Following a Planned Impact into an Asteroid: The First Five Weeks
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 The impact of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test spacecraft into Dimorphos, moon of the asteroid Didymos, changed Dimorphos’s orbit substantially, largely from the ejection of material.

Combining Solar Science and Asteroid Science with the Space Weather Observation Network (SWON)
, 2011 The peculiarity of space weather for Earth orbiting satellites, air traffic and power grids on Earth and especially the financial and operational risks posed by damage due to space weather, underline the necessity of space weather observation.

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.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 ...
