Enabling lunar and space missions by laser power transmission [PDF]
Applications are proposed for laser power transmission on the Moon. A solar-pumped laser in lunar orbit would beam power to the lunar surface for conversion into either electricity or propulsion needs.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Previous analyses of Mercury's tectonic record have arrived at widely varying amounts of global contraction. Contraction also varies spatially, with some regions displaying a near‐zero record of contraction. Here, we investigate the contribution of membrane–flexural strain from lithosphere loading to the tectonic record.

Petrography and mineral chemistry of Northeast Africa 053—A remnant of Martian crystal mush
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 4, Page 621-643, April 2026.Abstract In Earth's igneous systems, crystal mushes, crystal‐rich frameworks permeated by silicate melt, represent a common and fundamental stage in the evolution of magma bodies. However, whether crystal mushes occur within Martian igneous systems and play a comparable role is unknown. Here, we present a comprehensive petrography and mineral chemistry

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 5, 15 March 2026.ABSTRACT Rationale Laser ablation mass spectrometry provides fast and direct chemical information of solids with high spatial resolution without the need for complex sample preparation. It has been shown that reducing the laser pulse length below picoseconds improves the quantification of chemical composition measurements of solids. This study compares

Effect of Soil Type on Running Performance of Small Lunar Rover
AerospaceIt is very easy for a small lunar rover to slip on the regolith of the lunar surface and become stuck. Previous studies have quantitatively evaluated the effects of wheel geometry, such as elliptical or eccentric wheels, on the performance of a rover ...
