The 3‐D geological model around Chang'E‐3 landing site based on lunar penetrating radar Channel 1 data

Geophysical Research Letters, 2017
High‐frequency lunar penetrating radar (LPR) data from an instrument on the lunar rover Yutu, from the Chang'E‐3 (CE‐3) robotic lander, were used to build a three‐dimensional (3‐D) geological model of the lunar subsurface structure. The CE‐3 landing site

Properties of Lunar Dust and Their Migration on the Moon

Space: Science & Technology
Lunar dust, the finest fraction of lunar regolith, has undergone important space weathering on the Moon. It not only serves as a record of the evolution of the lunar surface environment and the modification of mineral properties, but also influences the ...
