Advancing Heliophysics and Space Weather Modeling Through Open Science

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We present a community‐wide effort to develop a strategy and action plan to advance heliophysics and space weather modeling through open science. While open science has the potential to enhance the quality and pace of scientific discovery, its application to scientific modeling requires more careful consideration regarding open data and open ...

Planetary astronomy

, 1991
Lunar-based astronomy offers major prospects for solar system research in the coming century. In addition to active advocacy of both ground-based and Lunar-based astronomy, a workshop on the value of asteroids as a resource for man is being organized ...

Ion Anisotropy in Earth's Magnetotail: Importance of High‐Energy Ions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The reconfiguration of the magnetotail current sheet during substorms often includes the formation of a thin current sheet (TCS) with a strong magnetic field line tension force. This force cannot be balanced by isotropic plasma pressure gradients, and force balance in such a TCS requires ion anisotropy and/or agyrotropy of plasma pressure.

Mastcam‐Z Spectrophotometric Properties of Materials at the Van Zyl Overlook, Jezero Crater

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract During Sols 63–65 of Mars 2020, Mastcam‐Z multispectral (442–1022 nm) images were acquired at Van Zyl Overlook (VZO), spanning phase angles from ∼0° to 150°, to model photometric parameters for seven surface units. These units included rocks, soils, regolith, and rover tracks near the Jezero landing site.

The operational environment and rotational acceleration of asteroid (101955) Bennu from OSIRIS-REx observations

Nature Communications, 2019
Vicinity of small bodies might be dangerous to the spacecrafts and to their instrumentation. Here the authors show the operational environment of asteroid Bennu, validate its photometric phase function and demonstrate the accelerating rotational rate due

New High Precision Measurements of Apollo Samples: 0.3–5 GHz Complex Refractive Indices

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Active and passive radar techniques provide information on the subsurface structure and history of planetary bodies. However, interpretations of radar data are limited by our understanding of the complex dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability of the surface material.

Lunar ejecta as the missing piece to resolving lunar cratering asymmetry

Astronomy & Astrophysics
The leading-trailing asymmetry in lunar crater distribution provides a critical record of inner Solar System dynamics, yet the long-standing discrepancy between the observed higher asymmetry and lower theoretical predictions indicates a gap in our ...

Design of lunar landing trajectory under constraints

, 2001
The design of a lunar landing trajectory which satisfies certain constraints is considered and discussed. The constraints are of two kinds, kinetic constraints, which deal with the relative positions among the Sun, the Moon, the Earth, the spacecraft and
