EU Space Law and Earth's Boundaries: Integrating Environmental Impact Assessment and Corporate Due Diligence

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The European Union's proposed Space Law aims to establish a unified approach for sustainable space activities across the EU. While the EU's satellite constellations contribute to sustainability efforts, they can also have negative environmental impacts.

The effect of aspect changes on Near-Earth Asteroid phase curves [PDF]

, 2022
Phase curves of asteroids are typically considered to depend solely on the scattering properties of airless particulate surfaces and the size of the object being studied.

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.

Dynamic 3D Simulation of Surface Charging on Rotating Asteroids

The Astrophysical Journal
The surface-charging phenomenon of asteroids, mainly resulting from solar wind plasma and solar radiation, has been extensively studied. However, the influence of the asteroid’s rotation on surface charging is not yet fully understood.

The Heterogeneous Surface of Asteroid (16) Psyche

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2022
AbstractMain‐belt asteroid (16) Psyche is the largest M‐type asteroid, a class of object classically thought to be the metal cores of differentiated planetesimals and the parent bodies of the iron meteorites. de Kleer, Cambioni, and Shepard (2021, https://doi.org/10.3847/psj/ac01ec) presented new data from the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA ...

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

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 ...

Impact ejecta and crater formation on asteroid surfaces [PDF]

, 2020
Asteroids in the Solar System are numerous and have varied composition. Analysis of impact crater sizes and morphologies on asteroids can provide a direct diagnosis of the surface material properties and near-surface structures.

New knowledge about shock events that affected the L‐chondrite parent body from two heavily shocked L6 meteorite finds

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We report new results from a study of shock‐related features in the L6 ordinary chondrites Northwest Africa (NWA) 4672 and NWA 12841. Our observations confirm the occurrence of eight high‐pressure (HP) minerals in each meteorite, namely, ringwoodite, majorite, akimotoite, wadsleyite, albitic jadeite, lingunite, tuite, and xieite.

Surface Modifications of a Space-weathered Ryugu Sample and the Reflectance Spectral Response

The Planetary Science Journal
Reflectance spectra from the surface of asteroid Ryugu, measured by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft, exhibit a metal-OH absorption at ∼2.7 μ m that is approximately half as deep as the returned samples measured in the laboratory and shifted toward longer ...

Surface Compositions of Trojan Asteroids

Space Science Reviews
AbstractThe Jupiter Trojan asteroids are a key population for understanding the chemical and dynamical evolution of the Solar System. Surface compositions of Trojans, in turn, provide crucial information for reconstructing their histories. NASA’s Lucy mission will soon complete the first spacecraft reconnaissance of this population.
