Diverse Prairie Mixtures Stabilize Biomass Yields for Sustainable Aviation Fuel Production

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Meeting global demand for sustainable aviation fuel will require the additional production of vast quantities of plant biomass, which does not compete with food production or degrade sensitive ecosystems. Our multisite experiment shows that sowing diverse native prairie seed mixes—and managing them without intensive inputs—yields a more reliable ...

Sampling, Mobility, and Anchoring in Small‐Body Sampling Robots: A Comprehensive Review

SmartBot, EarlyView.
Small‐body sampling robots are exploration systems that perform contact, sampling, and stable operations on microgravity bodies such as asteroids and comets. The authors review representative robot architectures and key technologies, focusing on the mechanisms, evolution, and coupling of sampling, mobility, and anchoring.

Circumbinary Chaos: Using Pluto's Newest Moon to Constrain the Masses of Nix & Hydra

, 2012
The Pluto system provides a unique local laboratory for the study of binaries with multiple low mass companions. In this paper, we study the orbital stability of P4, the most recently discovered moon in the Pluto system.

Mass-wasting Features on Galilean Icy Moons: Morphological Analysis and Implications

The Planetary Science Journal
This study investigates mass-wasting features on the icy Galilean satellites Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Through comparative morphological analysis, we identified and classified slides, slumps, and flow-like deposits as mass-wasting categories using ...

Survivability of Anhydrobiotic Cyanobacteria in Salty Ice: Implications for the Habitability of Icy Worlds

Life, 2019
Two anhydrobiotic strains of the cyanobacterium Chroococcidiopsis, namely CCMEE 029 and CCMEE 171, isolated from the Negev Desert in Israel and from the Dry Valleys in Antarctica, were exposed to salty-ice simulations.

Microbial Extremophiles in Evolutionary Aspect [PDF]

, 2007
The microflora of the cryosphere of planet Earth provides the best analogs for life forms that might be found in the permafrost or polar ice caps of Mars, near the surface of the cometary nuclei, or in the liquid water beneath the ice crusts of icy moons
