Widespread ilmenite contributions to the surface water cycle in lunar Procellarum KREEP Terrane [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe role of widespread ilmenite in lunar mare regions in the abundance and diurnal variations of surficial OH/H2O remains controversial. Here, we report the water content and hydrogen isotopes in the rims of lunar ilmenites from Chang’e-5 soil samples ...

A New Global Perspective on Recent Tectonism in the Lunar Maria
The Planetary Science JournalEarth’s Moon exhibits evidence that it is tectonically active. That evidence includes the Apollo Lunar Seismic Experiment detection of shallow moonquakes and the presence of geologically young tectonic features at the lunar surface. Lobate scarps are one

Remote Compositional Analyses of Space-weathered Lunar Maria
The Planetary Science JournalVisible-to-shortwave infrared (VSWIR) reflectance spectroscopy has revolutionized our understanding of planetary surface compositions. However, space-weathering processes on airless bodies complicate quantitative compositional analyses.

Use of orbiting reflectors to decrease the technological challenges of surviving the lunar night [PDF]
, 2011 In this paper the feasibility of using lunar reflectors to decrease the technological challenges of surviving the lunar night is investigated. This is achieved by attempting to find orbits in the two-body problem where the argument of periapsis is ...

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.

Origin of the Lunar Maria [PDF]
Nature, 1966 THE hypothesis proposed by Kopal1 concerning the origin of the lunar maria is very interesting. However, it is important to note that the distribution of lunar craters on the Earth-turned hemisphere is far from uniform. There are significant, well-marked chains approximately aligned with the central meridian as seen from Earth; in the west (classical ...
