Lunar Crustal Formation by Melt Migration and Differentiation Within a Stagnant Lid
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract The lunar anorthosite highlands represent the Moon's primary crust, which formed during the solidification of a magma ocean following the Moon‐forming giant impact. However, the canonical model of anorthite flotation in the crystallizing magma ocean often struggles to reproduce the long > ${ >} $200 Myr solidification timescale required by the

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research
Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

The analyse of the influence of external disturbance on the motion of a six-wheeled lunar rover
, 2007 Since lunar rover may run on the uneven surface of the moon, it is inevitable for external disturbances cause the lunar rover's unexpected move. We investigate the effects of external disturbance.

Force model and its simulation analysis of wheel-legged lunar rover
, 2010 Based on the motion characteristics of double-half-revolution mechanism, a new-style wheel-legged lunar rover was proposed. In order to evaluate its maneuvering performance, the performance experiment of single wheellegged mechanism is needed.
