Material Property Sensitivity of Light Curve Attitude Estimation for the Lunar Trailblazer
Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract The Lunar Trailblazer (LTB) spacecraft launched on 27 February 2025, toward a planned low‐lunar orbit. Eleven hours into its mission, contact with Trailblazer was lost, and recovery efforts began. Estimating the orientation and angular velocity state of Trailblazer was central for recovery to determine whether and when the vehicle could be ...

Surface Geology and Evolution of Asteroid Ryugu: Insights From Hayabusa2 Global Mapping
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Rubble‐pile asteroids, characterized by loose aggregates of debris held together by gravity, represent both a significant planetary hazard and a key to understanding planetesimal formation. Geologic mapping of these bodies provides essential insights into their origins, evolution, and surface processes.

Occurrence and Provenance of KREEP Components in Glassy Agglutinates From Chang'e‐5 Lunar Regolith
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract This study investigates the petrogenesis of glassy agglutinates in a polished section of the Chang'e‐5 lunar regolith sample CE5C0800YJYX018GP through integrated petrographic, mineralogical, and geochemical analyses of four representative particles (18GP‐01 to 18GP‐04).
