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 ...

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 ...

Atypical Fibrotic‐Mimicking Pulmonary Sarcoidosis in a Young Female: The Basal Conundrum

open access: yesRespirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
We present a case of pulmonary sarcoidosis in a young female who had a confounding basal‐peripheral phenotype, eventually diagnosed through endobronchial biopsy showing non‐necrotizing granulomas with asteroid bodies. ABSTRACT Pulmonary sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disease characterized by the formation of non‐caseating granulomas; it ...

Ferric Chloride: The Venusian Unknown UV Absorber?

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Near‐ultraviolet imaging of the planet Venus reveals inhomogeneous absorption features in the otherwise bright clouds. This absorption has been studied for nearly 100 years, but identification of the near‐UV absorber remains one of the largest open questions in Venusian research.

Different Frontier, Same Legal Script? On the Course of Replicating Earth's Patterns in Space

open access: yesThe Modern Law Review, Volume 89, Issue 5, Page 723-759, September 2026.
As states and private actors expand their activities in outer space, the international legal framework governing this domain risks extending longstanding structures of global inequality beyond Earth. This article examines how international space law, shaped by a broader disciplinary pattern of reactive legal development, is poised to reproduce ...

The Great Cosmic Silence: What Does the Fermi Paradox Tell About the Future of Humanity?

open access: yesGlobal Policy, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 553-565, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines how institutional time horizons shape the long‐term survival prospects of human technological civilisation. While research on global catastrophic and existential risks has expanded, the temporal structures of political‐economic institutions remain underexamined.

Bolide light curve systematics from 75 recovered meteorites

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 9, Page 2351-2392, September 2026.
Abstract How does the energy deposition profile (light curve), deceleration, and penetration depth in Earth's atmosphere depend on asteroid composition and meteorite type? Here, we present the light curve and velocity profile of 75 bolides from camera‐documented meteorite falls.
