Binder Jetting of Lunar Regolith: Densification Optimization in Air and Vacuum, and Mechanical Performance Evaluation

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Binder jetting has emerged as a compelling approach for processing lunar regolith, as it is well‐suited for low‐energy environments and requires lower amounts of organic binder, compared to the competitive technologies. This study investigates the feasibility of binder jetting lunar regolith simulants from micrometric particles, focusing on ...

Simple and effective remediation strategies of Martian perchlorates

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Martian surface minerals have abundant perchlorate salts existing in both solid and liquid phases that will impair agricultural operations, biological life‐support systems, and in situ resource utilization due to their toxicity. Thus, simple and effective perchlorate remediation strategies will be necessary for the successful use of Martian ...

Oxychlorine Species on Mars: A Review

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Oxychlorine species (mainly perchlorate and chlorate) have been identified at multiple locations on the surface of Mars by both orbiter and in situ rovers. They have also been found in martian meteorites. Cl‐isotopes in meteoritic minerals suggest that an oxychlorine cycle has been operating on the martian surface for the last ∼4 billion years.

A Comprehensive Review of Additive Manufacturing for Space Applications: Materials, Advances, Challenges, and Future Directions

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 27, Issue 22, November 2025.
Additive manufacturing (AM) transforms space hardware by enabling lightweight, high‐performance, and on‐demand production. This review outlines AM processes—powder bed fusion (PBF), directed energy deposition (DED), binder jetting (BJ), sheet lamination (SL), and material extrusion (ME)—applied to propulsion, satellite structures, and thermal devices ...

Progress in Resource Evaluation Using a Handheld Raman Instrument Developed for Astronaut Missions

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, Volume 56, Issue 11, Page 1418-1433, November 2025.
Analogue studies were undertaken using a prototype, handheld Raman spectrometer (developed for astronaut usage on the moon) to collect data that would indicate the presence of water and help develop the technology to search for valuable trace elements (such as lithium and caesium).

Regional Ice‐Depth and Thickness in Phlegra Montes, Mars From Radar Characterization of Glacial Landsystems Using SHARAD

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Morphological analyses of Viscous Flow Features (VFFs) in the mid‐latitude regions of Mars have led to the hypothesis that these landforms are equivalent to debris‐covered glaciers. Phlegra Montes is a 1400‐km‐long mountain range in the northern mid‐latitudes that spans from 30° to 50°N, where there is an abundance of glacial landsystems ...
