X‐ray computed tomography study of terrestrial analog cores in preparation for Mars sample return

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Mars Sample Return (MSR) is expected to transform planetary science by providing unprecedented access to pristine Martian material. Initial characterization in the sample receiving facility (SRF) will rely on nondestructive techniques such as X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) to document the condition, distribution, and internal features of ...

Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.

Thermophysical property models for lunar regolith [PDF]

Advances in Space Research, 2016
Abstract We present a set of thermophysical property models for lunar regolith. Data from over 25 sources in the literature are integrated and fit with regression models for the following properties: composition, density, specific heat, latent heat of melting/fusion, thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, optical absorption length, Gibbs Free

Sustainable Water Systems in Space: A Review of Current Technologies and Future Prospects

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Sustainable water management is a critical challenge in space exploration, where the limited availability of resources requires innovative approaches to ensure astronauts' survival on long‐duration missions. This narrative review explores the key technologies and methods involved in water recycling, in situ resource utilization (ISRU), and ...

The Effect of Tip Design on Technological Performance During the Exploration of Earth, Lunar, and Martian Soil Environments

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 1, Page 387-408, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the penetration performance of soil‐burrowing probes with different tip designs during shallow‐depth penetration in various media, including terrestrial soils (Hostun sand) and well‐characterized planetary soil simulants (LHS‐1 Lunar regolith simulant and MGS‐1 Martian regolith simulant).

Magnetic field coupling with lunar soil simulants

Scientific Reports, 2023
Wireless power transfer (WPT) using magnetically coupled resonators is being integrated into space vehicles destined for the lunar surface. The dusty soil on the Moon, called lunar regolith, is known to adhere to surfaces and is also known to contain ...

Mountain Degradation Mechanisms on Io Based on Geologic Mapping of the Cocytus Montes Region From JunoCam Imagery

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Periodic high‐resolution imagery of Io is essential for understanding its surface evolution, from volcanic eruptions to tectonic deformation to large‐scale mass wasting. Juno flybys in 2023 and 2024 obtained imagery of the surface with the JunoCam imager at 1.8 km/pixel spatial resolution, comparable to global observations from the Galileo ...

An Analysis of the Exposure History of Apollo 17 Soils: Exploring Relationships Between Lunar Soil Maturity Indices

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Analysis of space weathering features in lunar regolith using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) allows researchers to characterize the surface exposure timescale of individual grains from the Moon. TEM analysis of regolith grains from Apollo 17 scoop samples, collected from five different locations in the Taurus‐Littrow Valley (TLV), each
