Fifty Years Later: Revisiting Viking 2 Seismic Signals Through InSight
AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 7, October 2026.Abstract For nearly 50 years, the origin of the candidate seismic signals recorded by Viking 2 remained unresolved because of limited instrumental sensitivity, onboard observation, data compression, and the absence of Martian seismic context. Here we reconstruct the Viking seismic workflow and reinterpret the two Viking candidate events, recorded on ...

Lunar “Volatile and Mineralogy Mapping Orbiter (VMMO)” Mission [PDF]
, 2019 Human spaceflight to/on/from the Moon will benefit from exploitation of various in-situ resources such as water volatile and mineral. Evidence for water ice in Permanently Shadowed Regions (PSRs) on the Moon is both direct and indirect, and derives from ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract During their orbits of the Moon in 1972, Apollo astronauts reported three impact flashes, associated with meteoroids striking the surface and vaporizing. We examined data from the Apollo seismic network to investigate whether these flashes produced detectable moonquakes whose locations and timing could be independently validated.

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.

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.
