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

Frontiers 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 ...

The Observation of Lunar Impacts
, 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.

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

Latitude Variation of Flux and Impact Angle of Asteroid Collisions with Earth and the Moon
The Planetary Science Journal, 2021 Flux and impact angles were calculated for asteroid collisions with Earth and the Moon, using the latest population models for the distribution of near-Earth objects (NEOs) and precession models to determine the impact probabilities.

Performance of Lunar Regolith Shield under Meteoroid Impact: Uncertainties of a Numerical Prediction
Applied Sciences, 2022 The protection of the future lunar base from radiation, thermal stresses and impacts of meteoroids can be achieved by several options, generally consisting in a shielding system, made of either regolith or combined materials.

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

The Composition and Stratigraphy of the Chang’e-6 Landing Mare
The Planetary Science JournalChina’s Chang’e-6 (CE-6) mission returned lunar samples from the southern mare in the Apollo basin formed in the prominent South Pole–Aitken basin. The basic geological context of the landing mare has been well resolved.
