Global Identification of Lunar Dark Mantle Deposits [PDF]
SensorsLunar dark mantle deposits (DMDs), formed by explosive volcanic activity on the Moon, are typically composed of glass- and iron-rich pyroclastic materials, with slight variations in color, crystallinity, and TiO2 concentration by region.

First crustal magnetic anomaly estimates from the magnetometer observations of the Korea pathfinder lunar orbiter [PDF]
Scientific ReportsFirst lunar crustal magnetic anomalies from the vector magnetometer onboard the Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO) called Danuri are evaluated at 100 km altitude over the areas where earlier satellite magnetic mapping missions observed strong ...

Leto Mission Concept for Green Reconnaissance of the Marius Hills Lunar Pit
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Lava tubes are potentially important sites for the long-term human presence on the Moon because they provide shelter from surface hazards, including micrometeorites, radiation, extreme temperatures, and dust.

Image-Based Lunar Hazard Detection in Low Illumination Simulated Conditions via Vision Transformers
Sensors, 2023 Hazard detection is fundamental for a safe lunar landing. State-of-the-art autonomous lunar hazard detection relies on 2D image-based and 3D Lidar systems. The lunar south pole is challenging for vision-based methods.

The Search for Topographic Correlations within the Reiner Gamma Swirl
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Lunar swirls have been traditionally considered to be unaffected by topographic changes. Yet, correlations between areas of high albedo and lower elevations are observed in regions of the Mare Ingenii swirl. Here, we apply similar techniques used at Mare
