SPECTRAL UNMIXING BASED CONSTRUCTION OF LUNAR MINERAL ABUNDANCE MAPS [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2017 In this study we apply a nonlinear spectral unmixing algorithm to a nearly global lunar spectral reflectance mosaic derived from hyper-spectral image data acquired by the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) instrument.

Crustal Density Differences Along Mars' Dichotomy Boundary From Gravity and Topography
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.Abstract Seismic data for Mars has provided constraints on the thickness of its crust, but its density and how much it varies spatially, especially across the hemispherical dichotomy, is still undetermined. We apply a novel constraint in the analysis of spacecraft tracking data to determine Mars' gravity field that allows for the determination of the ...

Corundum Discovered by SuperCam and the Perseverance Rover at Jezero Crater, Mars
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.Abstract Mars is primarily composed of mafic mineral assemblages and their alteration products, but small, scattered rocks strewn across the landscape offer clues to greater petrological diversity. While traversing the Jezero crater rim, the Perseverance rover encountered several plagioclase‐rich light‐toned float rocks.

The Astrophysical Journal LettersThe speciation, inventory, and dynamic changes of water (OH/H _2 O) on the lunar surface remain poorly constrained. The Chang’e-6 (CE-6) mission conducted in situ spectroscopic measurements of lunar water over time intervals shorter than one lunar local ...

Determination of the Dynamic Angle of Repose of Lunar Regolith Simulants
GeosciencesThe determination of the dynamic angle of repose (DAR) of lunar regolith simulants is essential for modeling material behavior during in situ resource utilization (ISRU) processes and lunar surface operations.

ELEMENTAL AND TOPOGRAPHIC MAPPING OF LAVA FLOWSTRUCTURES IN MARE SERENITATIS ON THE MOON [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2017 The detection of lunar lava flows based on local morphology highly depends on the available images. The thickness of lava flows, however, has been studied by many researchers and lunar lava flows are shown to be as thick as 200 m.

Locating Moonquakes With Single‐Station Seismology
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.Abstract Renewed international interest in lunar seismometer deployments requires robust single‐station location approach for the highly scattering Moon's crust. We present an event‐location strategy using major lunar event types recorded by the Apollo seismic network. Frequency‐dependent polarization analysis provides P‐wave back‐azimuth and incidence,
