Sub-surface stratification and dielectric permittivity distribution at the Chang’E-4 landing site revealed by the lunar penetrating radar [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2022 Context. In 2019, China’s Chang’E-4 (CE-4) probe landed on the far side of the Moon: a first in lunar exploration. The Lunar Penetrating Radar (LPR) mounted on the Yutu-2 rover allows the mapping of the near-surface structure and the dielectric ...

Multi‐Phase Evolution and Composition Variations of Volcanic Activities on the Lunar Farside Revealed by Chang'e‐4 Lunar Penetrating Radar [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: PlanetsVolcanism is the primary endogenic geological process on the Moon, with mare basalts being the critical indicators of such activity. The abundance of titanium in these mare basalts reflects different lunar mantle sources, magma origins, and thermal ...
