Advances in Solidification Technologies of Lunar Regolith-Based Building Materials Under Extreme Lunar Environments

Buildings
With the launch of the Artemis program and the International Lunar Research Station project, the construction of lunar bases has emerged as a global research focus. In situ manufacturing technologies for robust lunar regolith-based building materials are

Underestimation of Planetary Contraction Due To Obscuration by Surface Roughness: The Case of Mercury

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Estimating Mercury's radial contraction is key to understanding the planet's geodynamic evolution. Contraction has been inferred from mapped shortening structures, whose heterogeneous distribution contradicts the isotropic contraction expected from global cooling.

The Evolution of Autonomous Systems for Planetary Cave Exploration: A Review

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 6, Page 4094-4115, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The exploration of Subsurface Access Points (SAPs), such as lava tubes on the Moon and Mars, has gained significant interest due to their potential as stable environments shielded from surface radiation and temperature extremes. These sites are considered high‐value targets for detecting water and signs of ancient life, and assessing their ...

The Lunar Regolith [PDF]

, 2009
A thick layer of regolith, fragmental and unconsolidated rock material, covers the entire lunar surface. This layer is the result of the continuous impact of meteoroids large and small and the steady bombardment of charged particles from the sun and ...

Effect of Lunar Dust on Humans-Lunar Dust: Regolith-

Nippon Eiseigaku Zasshi (Japanese Journal of Hygiene), 2010
We reviewed the effect of lunar dust (regolith) on humans by the combination of the hazard/exposure of regolith and microgravity of the moon. With regard to the physicochemical properties of lunar dust, the hazard-related factors are its components, fibrous materials and nanoparticles.

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

The 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.

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

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 9, Page 3944-3967, 1 September 2026.
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.

VELOX – A Demonstration Facilility for Lunar Oxygen Extraction in a Laboratory Environment [PDF]

, 2010
The ultimate goal of a permanent human presence on the Moon is discussed intensively within the global lunar community. Obviously, such an effort poses stringent demands not only on the technology but also on logistics, especially considering the ...

Corundum Discovered by SuperCam and the Perseverance Rover at Jezero Crater, Mars

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Mars is primarily composed of mafic mineral assemblages and their alteration products, but small, scattered rocks strewn across the landscape offer clues to greater petrological diversity. While traversing the Jezero crater rim, the Perseverance rover encountered several plagioclase‐rich light‐toned float rocks.

Locating Moonquakes With Single‐Station Seismology

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Renewed international interest in lunar seismometer deployments requires robust single‐station location approach for the highly scattering Moon's crust. We present an event‐location strategy using major lunar event types recorded by the Apollo seismic network. Frequency‐dependent polarization analysis provides P‐wave back‐azimuth and incidence,
