Use of orbiting reflectors to decrease the technological challenges of surviving the lunar night [PDF]
, 2011 In this paper the feasibility of using lunar reflectors to decrease the technological challenges of surviving the lunar night is investigated. This is achieved by attempting to find orbits in the two-body problem where the argument of periapsis is ...

Volcanism and Deep Structures of the Moon
Space: Science & Technology, 2023 Volcanism is the most important endogenic geological process of the Moon, which is closely related to its internal structure and thermal history. Lunar volcanism is one of the most important topics for lunar science and explorations. Recent lunar orbital

Dynamic Secondary Illumination in Permanent Shadows within Artemis III Candidate Landing Regions
The Planetary Science JournalInvestigations that can be conducted at the Artemis III candidate landing regions will benefit from the knowledge of the thermal environment within permanently shadowed regions (PSRs). Within PSRs, secondary illumination controls the surface temperature,

Tectonics and Seismicity of the Lunar South Polar Region
The Planetary Science JournalThe lunar south pole regions are subjected to global stresses that result in contractional deformation and associated seismicity. This deformation is mainly expressed by lobate thrust fault scarps; examples are globally distributed, including polar ...
