Extravehicular activity at geosynchronous earth orbit [PDF]
The basic contract to define the system requirements to support the Advanced Extravehicular Activity (EVA) has three phases: EVA in geosynchronous Earth orbit; EVA in lunar base operations; and EVA in manned Mars surface exploration.

Discovery of a Lunar Cold Spot at Apollo 16's South Ray Crater
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 18, 28 September 2025.Abstract Lunar cold spots are extensive, ray‐like regions of reduced nighttime temperature surrounding young impact craters. Using improved Diviner temperature maps, we identify a faint cold spot surrounding South Ray crater at the Apollo 16 landing site.

Energy Expenditure During Extravehicular Activity Through Apollo [PDF]
42nd International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2012 Monitoring crew health during manned space missions has always been an important factor to ensure that the astronauts can complete the missions successfully and within safe physiological limits. The necessity of real-time metabolic rate monitoring during extravehicular activities (EVAs) came into question during the Gemini missions, when the energy ...

Two Slowly Cooled and Chemically Diverse Basalt Clasts Identified in ANGSA Core 73001
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.Abstract The Apollo 17 mission returned a double drive tube, 73001/73002, which was opened after ∼50 years and made available to the community through the Apollo Next Generation Sample Analysis (ANGSA) program. Here, we investigate the petrogenesis of two basalt clasts separated from the 73001 core, samples 73001,1095B and 73001,1234B.
