Sintering lunar regolith pellets: a comparison of four samples from Apollo 11, 15, and 16
Materials Today AdvancesLunar regolith sintering is proposed as a technique to produce consolidated objects on the lunar surface from locally sourced materials. Understanding the sintering behaviour of real lunar regolith is necessary to optimise this process, however, due to ...

Magmatic Intrusions into the Sulfur-Rich Carmel Formation on the Colorado Plateau, USA: Implications for the Mars 2020 Mission [PDF]
, 2018 We report on basaltic dikes in the Colorado Plateau, which crosscut sulfate bearing sediments and compare this to Martian basalts and basaltic sediments in contact with sulfate ...

A Physics-Guided Diffusion Unmixing Model for Global Lunar Mineral Abundance Mapping
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote SensingAccurate global mapping of lunar regolith minerals is critical for understanding the geological evolution and resource potential of the Moon. However, spectral unmixing algorithms originally designed for terrestrial remote sensing often perform poorly ...

The Evolution of Hot Flow Anomalies in Martian Space Environment
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.Abstract Hot Flow Anomalies (HFAs) are transient foreshock structures generated by solar wind discontinuity‐bow shock interactions, with their evolution only confirmed near Earth. Using MAVEN and Tianwen‐1 joint observations, we study the evolution of a Martian HFA event detected on 17 September 2022 (dayside by MAVEN, nightside by Tianwen‐1).

Mineralogy of the Ibitira eucrite and comparison with other eucrites and lunar samples [PDF]
Single crystal X-ray and energy dispersive electron-probe techniques are used to study the mineralogy and track history of Ibitira. The mineralogical features of the Ibitire eucrite are described and examined in relation to data for other eucrites and ...

Accessing and assessing lunar resources with PROSPECT [PDF]
, 2014 PROSPECT is a package in development by ESA to assess the in-situ resource potential of lunar regolith. PROSPECT will: obtain sub-surface regolith samples, extract volatiles, identify chemical species, quantify abundances, and characterize ...
