Analysis of Lunar Impacts for Orbital Debris Mitigation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Recently, orbits in cislunar space have become the focus of attention for upcoming missions. This will increase the activity around the Moon, leading to some repercussions that have to do with the generation of orbital debris and contamination in the ...

Peak-ring structure and kinematics from a multi-disciplinary study of the Schrödinger impact basin

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Impact basins on the Moon are considered as the best landing sites for the recovery of information about the lunar interior. To inform future lunar missions, Kringet al.

Importance of the Lunar Cycle on Mesopelagic Foraging by Atlantic Bluefin Tuna in the Upwelling Area of the Strait of Messina (Central Mediterranean Sea)

open access: yesAnimals, 2022
The influence of the lunar cycle on bluefin tuna foraging in the upwelling area of the Strait of Messina was investigated by exploring trophic interaction with mesopelagic fish and cephalopod prey.

The Arid Regolith of the Moon

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2022
In the original hypothesis of ice in lunar polar cold traps, it was presumed that meteoritic water acquired by the lunar surface would be concentrated in cold traps by exospheric lateral transport. That supposition is proven to be false by the absence of

Do Impulsive Solar-Energetic-Electron (SEE) Events Drive High-Voltage Charging Events on the Nightside of the Moon?

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
When the Earth’s moon is in the supersonic solar wind, the darkside of the Moon and the lunar plasma wake can be very dangerous charging environments. In the absence of photoelectron emission (dark) and in the absence of cool plasma (wake), the emission ...

Late Eocene and late Miocene cosmic dust events: Comet showers, asteroid collisions, or lunar impacts?

open access: yes, 2009
Two long-lived peaks in extraterrestrial ^3He flux have been identified in the sedimentary record of the Cenozoic Era: at 8.2 Ma (late Miocene) and 35.8 Ma (late Eocene).

Ancient Astronomers and Ancient Lunar Impacts

open access: yes, 2022
We return to two of our favorite topics, the red giant star Betelgeuse, and of course the Moon. Some clever historical detective work has revealed that Betelgeuse was not red, but yellow, two thousand years ago.

The Observation of Lunar Impacts

open access: yes, 2000
The intense activity of cratering on the Moon and in the inner regions of the solar system was accomplished during the first 10^9 years [1]. Occasionally, some impact events occur even nowadays. In Section 1, we treat, from a historical point of view, the Earth-based observation of lunar impacts.

Photocatalytic Water Splitting on the Lunar Surface: Prospects for In Situ Resource Utilization

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Water has been found in craters on the moon nearby locations which are illuminated >80% of the time. Photocatalysis uses energy from sunlight to drive chemical reactions such as water splitting to produce oxygen and hydrogen. It is a scalable technology that requires lighter equipment and utilizes resources available on the moon. ABSTRACT The discovery
