Revealing the Internal Structure of Mars‐Analog Glaciers From Drone‐Based Radar Sounding

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Martian debris‐covered glaciers (DCGs) contain large quantities of water ice beneath a protective layer of rock and dust. Properties of the overlying regolith such as density and depth to ice are critical parameters for guiding in situ resource utilization (ISRU) of water and coring missions targeting potential habitats.

Assessing Potential Landing Sites With Favorable Illumination and Accessible, Potentially Volatile‐Rich Permanently Shadowed Regions Within Artemis Candidate Landing Regions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The lunar south pole features permanently shadowed regions (PSRs) that never receive direct sunlight. These regions maintain cold temperatures that potentially trap and accumulate volatiles over geologic timescales. Within NASA's Artemis candidate landing regions, we identified 130 candidate landing sites (CLSs) that satisfy the Human Landing ...

Oxygen production System Models for Lunar ISRU [PDF]

, 2007
In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) seeks to make human space exploration feasible; by using available resources from a planet or the moon to produce consumables, parts, and structures that otherwise would be brought from Earth.
