Radio Science, Volume 61, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract With the ongoing transition for geodetic Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) from the use of legacy S/X telescopes to the VLBI Global Observing System (VGOS), it is necessary to connect the new VGOS network to the existing legacy S/X telescopes.

Inferring Io's Internal Properties by Combining Gravity Measurements and Volcanic Activity
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract With its extreme geological activity, Io represents an archetype for tidally heated exoplanets/moons and provides insight into early stages of terrestrial planet evolution. Decades of ground‐based observations and multiple space missions have refined our understanding of Io, yet it remains debated where inside Io the tidal heating takes place.

Bolide light curve systematics from 75 recovered meteorites
Meteoritics &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.

The ORCA‐TWIN qCMOS Experiment I. Science Case and Commissioning at Calar Alto Observatory
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 7, August 2026.ABSTRACT We describe a pilot study to explore a new generation of fast and low noise CMOS image sensors for time domain astronomy, using two remote telescopes with a baseline of 1635 km. The experiment involves direct imaging with novel qCMOS image sensor technology that combines fast readout with sub‐electron readout noise.

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 7, August 2026.ABSTRACT We present relative astrometric measurements of visual double stars, made in 2019 with the speckle camera PISCO at the 1‐m Epsilon telescope of the C2PU facility (Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur, Calern site). Our observing list contains orbital couples as well as double stars whose motion is still uncertain.

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Unexpectedly following launch, the Lunar Trailblazer mission experienced software anomalies that led it to orient solar panels away from the sun and lose communication with Earth. This paper describes efforts to determine the spacecraft state and attempt recovery of the mission's science at the Moon.

Mission Design and Early Navigation Operations for the Lunar Trailblazer Mission
Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Lunar Trailblazer is a smallsat mission launched on 27 February 2025 as a secondary payload with the Intuitive Machines IM‐2 mission. After insertion into a near‐polar circular orbit around the Moon, the mission's goal was to search and characterize lunar water, primarily looking for ice in permanently shadowed craters and water bound in ...

Exploring the Interior Structure of (16) Psyche Through Basin‐Scale Collisions
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Asteroid (16) Psyche, the largest member of the M/X‐type asteroids, may be the leftover core of a differentiated planetesimal. As such (16) Psyche will be explored in detail by NASA's discovery‐class Psyche mission in 2029. This will be the first mission to orbit a metal‐rich asteroid, or any asteroid in the 100–500 km size range.

Al‐Khadhaf: The first camera‐observed (H5–6) meteorite fall from Oman
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 522-547, March 2026.Abstract A fireball camera system installed in 2022 by the Oman Meteorite Monitoring Project (OMMP) as part of the Global Fireball Observatory (GFO) recorded a 3.2 s fireball on March 8, 2022 at 8:15 p.m. UTC. A meteoroid of 4 ± 2 kg entered the atmosphere at 14.0 km/s.
