Morphological Features-Based Descriptive Index System for Lunar Impact Craters
ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2017 Lunar impact craters are important for studying lunar surface morphology because they are the most typical morphological units of the Moon. Impact crater descriptive indices can be used to describe morphological features and thus provide direct evidence ...

Illumination Model of Lunar Terrain around Lunar Laser Retroreflectors Based on LOLA Data
Remote SensingLunar laser retroreflectors are a crucial target for lunar laser ranging (LLR). During LLR operations at all lunar laser ranging stations, the considerable distance between the Earth and the Moon makes it impossible to visually identify the position of ...

Color Differences on the Lunar Surface [PDF]
, 1968 Both a detailed literature survey and a new observational study were performed to determine and extend the knowledge of spectral reflectivity differences (color differences) on the lunar surface in the extended visible wavelength region.

Comprehensive mapping of lunar surface chemistry by adding Chang'e-5 samples with deep learning
Nature Communications, 2023 Lunar surface chemistry is essential for revealing petrological characteristics to understand the evolution of the Moon. Existing chemistry mapping from Apollo and Luna returned samples could only calibrate chemical features before 3.0 Gyr, missing the ...

A Spectral Library Study of Mixtures of Common Lunar Minerals and Glass
Remote Sensing, 2023 Reflectance spectroscopy is a powerful tool to remotely identify the mineral and chemical compositions of the lunar regolith. The lunar soils contain silicate minerals with prominent absorption features and glasses with much less distinctive spectral ...

Degradation of the Lunar Surface by Small Impacts
, 2022 The surfaces of airless bodies like the Moon are bombarded by a steady stream of small impactors that lead to erosion of the topography over time. However, the rate of degradation from small impacts, a key parameter in interpreting the ages of present ...

A 3D hybrid simulation study of the electromagnetic field distributions in the lunar wake
, 2011 As a consequence of its lack of a thick atmosphere and an ionosphere, the interaction of the solar wind with the Moon is characterized by the direct impact of the solar wind on its sunward hemisphere.

Tectonics and Seismicity of the Lunar South Polar Region
The Planetary Science JournalThe lunar south pole regions are subjected to global stresses that result in contractional deformation and associated seismicity. This deformation is mainly expressed by lobate thrust fault scarps; examples are globally distributed, including polar ...
