Cross‐Referencing Astronaut‐Observed Lunar Impact Flashes With Seismic Data—Lessons From Apollo for Artemis

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract During their orbits of the Moon in 1972, Apollo astronauts reported three impact flashes, associated with meteoroids striking the surface and vaporizing. We examined data from the Apollo seismic network to investigate whether these flashes produced detectable moonquakes whose locations and timing could be independently validated.

Robust Crater Detection Algorithm Based on Maximum Entropy Threshold Segmentation

International Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2022
For future lunar exploration and planetary missions, the digital elevation model (DEM) of the target object may not be well prepared before the mission, so developing a new robust crater detection algorithm (CDA) without prepared high-precision DEM is ...

Identification of Multiscale Spatial Structure of Lunar Impact Crater: A Semivariogram Approach

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2021
Identifying the spatial structure of lunar impact craters is necessary to increase our understanding of past geologic processes on the Moon. However, detecting multiscale spatial structures of craters in images in appropriate resolutions using optimum ...

Coupled Effects of Grain Size and Metallic Iron on Spectral and Polarimetric Properties of Lunar Simulants

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The lunar surface is heterogeneous in grain size and metallic iron abundance due to diverse histories of space weathering. The spectral and polarimetric properties of the lunar regolith are strongly affected by both grain size and metallic iron particles.

AUTOMATIC DETECTION AND RECOGNITION OF CRATERS BASED ON THE SPECTRAL FEATURES OF LUNAR ROCKS AND MINERALS [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2017
Crater-detection approaches can be divided into four categories: manual recognition, shape-profile fitting algorithms, machine-learning methods and geological information-based analysis using terrain and spectral data.

Ancient Impact Melt Near the Lunar South Pole: Distribution, Provenance, and Sampling Strategy

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Due to a lack of pre‐Nectarian samples associated with specific impacts in the Apollo suite, the early Solar System's impact chronology is poorly constrained. We investigate where Artemis and other south polar lunar missions could sample impactites to determine the ages of pre‐Nectarian craters, focusing on the ancient craters Haworth ...

Active Dust Devils in the Rosalind Franklin Rover Landing Site in Oxia Planum, Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The Rosalind Franklin rover will land in Oxia Planum, Mars, in the second half of 2030. The mission relies on solar arrays to provide electrical power to the rover, so knowledge about dust‐clearing rates is important for science operations.

Exploring the significance of Kenya's indigenous and emerging blue foods for sustainable aquaculture development. A review

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Kenya's aquaculture sector is at a pivotal stage, transitioning from a historical reliance on Nile tilapia and African catfish toward a more diversified production portfolio that integrates indigenous and emerging freshwater and marine species. This shift is increasingly recognized as essential to enhance climate resilience, food security, and
