Lunar Mare Fecunditatis: A Science-Rich Region and a Concept Mission for Long-Distance Exploration
Remote Sensing, 2022 Mare Fecunditatis is a ~310,000 km2 flat basalt plain located in the low-latitude area of the Moon. Plenty of volcanic features (multiple episodes of mare basalts, sinuous rilles, lava tubes, pyroclastic deposits, domes, irregular mare patches (IMP ...

Analyzing LDEX's Current Measurements in Lunar Orbit
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 The Lunar Dust Experiment (LDEX) on board the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer mission orbited the Moon from 2014 September to 2015 April and observed a dynamic, permanently present dust cloud produced by continual meteoroid bombardment. In
