Post‐Acquisition Image‐Based Localization for High Resolution Thermal and Visible/Shortwave Infrared Images With Application to the Lunar Trailblazer Mission

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The Lunar Trailblazer mission aimed to assess the presence of water on the lunar surface using imaging spectroscopy in visible shortwave infrared (VSWIR) coupled with high‐resolution multispectral imaging in thermal midwave‐infrared (MWIR), captured simultaneously over the same target from orbit around the Moon with two different instruments ...

Observation and Coordination Needs for Current, Near‐Future, and Next Generation Earth‐Observing SAR Systems

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract This paper summarizes an evaluation by experts of how coordination of Earth‐observing Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) missions among the world's space agencies could advance toward game‐changing scientific discoveries and fully realizing SAR's practical capability to address many issues facing society.

Constraining the Hydration of Clay Minerals and Abundances of Amorphous Phases in Gale Crater, Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Both water and organic matter are required for the development and persistence of life. Phyllosilicates (clay minerals) have high surface areas that easily sorb water and organic matter. The Curiosity rover has investigated several hundred meters of stratigraphy in Gale crater, including where clays were detected from orbit.

In Situ Detection of Opal‐A in Jezero Crater, Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract We report the in situ detection of amorphous hydrated silica in the Bills Bay abrasion patch, located in the eastern portion of the Margin Unit between the rim of Jezero crater and the western delta. Here, hydrated silica co‐occurs with olivine, Fe‐Mg carbonates, secondary Fe‐Mg silicates, and hydrated Mg‐sulfate as determined by UV Raman ...

Thermal Segregation and Reddening in Europa's Double Ridges

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Europa's double ridges often display lower albedo and redder color than their surroundings. Their unique topography may cause sublimation‐driven darkening due to illumination and self‐heating—the process of thermal segregation. We apply an advanced 3D thermophysical model, including shadowing and self‐heating through mutual exchange of ...
