A Land Potential‐Based Framework for Wind Erosion and Sand and Dust Storm Source Mitigation
ABSTRACT Wind erosion and sand and dust storms are a global challenge. While many management practices to mitigate sources of wind erosion and sand and dust storms have been documented, existing guidance largely emphasizes what practices are available, with limited information on where and under what ecological conditions they should be applied.

Tailoring Model‐Based Systems Engineering for Sub‐100 g PlanarSats: A Power‐First View Stack
ABSTRACT This paper addresses how to apply model‐based systems engineering (MBSE) to ultrasmall planar satellites under severe power and resource constraints. PlanarSats are sub‐100‐gram spacecraft built as single printed‐circuit boards where the same surface must host both electronics and solar cells, so power generation, geometry, and component ...

Ground‐Based Validation of Hera's Spacecraft Monitoring Camera
Abstract Hera is an ESA contribution to the international planetary defense effort. It is a deep‐space mission to the binary asteroid system Didymos and Dimorphos, designed to investigate the effects of NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), demonstrate autonomous navigation, and support close‐proximity investigation by two CubeSats.
