Pairing relationships of howardites, eucrites and diogenites (HED) from the Miller Range ice fields, Antarctica

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We reevaluated pairing relationships among 56 Antarctic howardites, eucrites, and diogenites (HED) from the Miller Range ice fields (MIL) based on new measurements of cosmogenic radionuclides and bulk composition of 28 HED samples and one HED‐related dunite.

Morphological and Spectral Characterization of Lunar Regolith Breakdown due to Water Ice

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Remote sensing observations of the Moon suggest that the lunar polar regolith environment is affected by several natural processes that may cause the regolith in these regions to become more porous and fine particulate.

Three‐dimensional morphological analysis of Chang'e‐5 lunar soil using deep learning‐automated segmentation on computed tomography scans

open access: yesComputer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Grain morphology is a fundamental characteristic of lunar soil that influences its mechanical properties, sintering behavior, and in situ resource utilization. However, traditional two‐dimensional imaging methods are time‐consuming and lack full three‐dimensional (3D) structural information. This study presents an automated deep learning‐based

Application of Finite Difference Method for determining lunar regolith diurnal temperature distribution

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2018
This study was performed in order to verify viability of using finite difference method and proposed simple astrometrical model for modelling heat transfer in lunar regolith. The concept was examined by developing FD model of heat flow for upper 0,9 m of

Rock Location and Quantitative Analysis of Regolith at the Chang’e 3 Landing Site Based on Local Similarity Constraint

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
Structural analysis of lunar regolith not only provides important information about lunar geology but also provides a reference for future lunar sample return missions.

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

open access: yesExperimental 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.

Lunar ISRU Energy Storage and Electricity Generation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The survival of the astronauts and their equipment is the priority for any long-term exploration mission to the Moon. The provision of energy during the long lunar nights is a critical part of these missions.

A Compressive Sensing-Based Approach to Reconstructing Regolith Structure from Lunar Penetrating Radar Data at the Chang’E-3 Landing Site

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2018
Lunar Penetrating Radar (LPR) is one of the important scientific systems onboard the Yutu lunar rover for the purpose of detecting the lunar regolith and the subsurface geologic structures of the lunar regolith, providing the opportunity to map the ...

The origin of amino acids in lunar regolith samples

open access: yesGeochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 2016
AbstractWe analyzed the amino acid content of seven lunar regolith samples returned by the Apollo 16 and Apollo 17 missions and stored under NASA curation since collection using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection and time-of-flight mass spectrometry.

A New Lunar Crustal Thickness Model Constrained by Converted Seismic Waves Detected Beneath the Apollo Seismic Network

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 13, 16 July 2025.
Abstract Analysis of conversions between compressional and shear waves is a workhorse method for constraining crustal and lithospheric structure on Earth; yet, such converted waves have not been unequivocally identified in seismic data from the largest events on the Moon, due to the highly scattered waveforms of shallow seismic events. We reanalyze the
