Observing the Earth's Plasmasphere and Ionosphere From the Lunar Surface

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract We present the analysis of the first lunar‐based observational characterization of the Earth's plasmasphere and ionosphere using Global Navigation Satellite Systems signals tracked from the lunar surface by the Lunar GNSS Receiver Experiment (LuGRE). The Earth‐Moon geometry enables limb sounding of the plasmasphere at altitudes exceeding 3,000

Moessbauer Spectroscopy for Lunar Resource Assessment: Measurement of Mineralogy and Soil Maturity

, 1992
First-order assessment of lunar soil as a resource includes measurement of its mineralogy and maturity. Soils in which the mineral ilmenite is present in high concentrations are desirable feedstock for the production of oxygen at a lunar base.

A Novel Clustering-Based Methodology for Mapping Lunar Surface Minerals Using Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M³) Hyperspectral Data

Remote Sensing
In this study, we introduce a novel clustering-based methodology for mapping lunar surface mineralogy using hyperspectral data from the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3).

Impact of Doubled CO2 on the Response of the Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and Ionosphere to the 2008–2009 Sudden Stratospheric Warming

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract We investigate the impact of the 2008–2009 sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) event on the mesosphere, thermosphere, and ionosphere under conditions of doubled carbon dioxide (CO2). Using the Specified Dynamics Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model with thermosphere‐ionosphere eXtension model, we perform two simulations for the 2008–2009 ...

Lunar “Volatile and Mineralogy Mapping Orbiter (VMMO)” Mission

, 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 ...

Impact-induced mixing generated the stratified soils of the Lunar South Pole Aitken Basin

Communications Earth & Environment
The Mg-pyroxene annulus in the South Pole–Aitken (SPA) basin holds crucial information about the lunar crustal evolution, yet its mineralogy and origin remain debate. Here we analyzed the mineralogy, exogenic ejecta, and soil evolution of the 2.8-billion-

Low Abundances of Ultramafic Components in the Chang'e‐6 Landing Site Basalt and Ejecta Material

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract The South Pole‐Aitken (SPA) Basin, the Moon's largest impact structure, holds key insights into lunar evolution, prompting the Chang'e‐6 mission to return first samples for ground‐truth verification. Analysis of over 6,000 grains from the Chang'e‐6 soil returned from the SPA Basin reveals a composition dominated by clinopyroxene (26.5–32.9 vol.
