Experimental Investigation of Soil Adsorption Effects on Water Migration in Simulated Lunar Conditions

The Planetary Science Journal
Adsorption is a key mechanism governing water vapor diffusion in lunar regolith. To investigate this process, we conducted experiments under simulated lunar conditions—Knudsen diffusion conditions—using three soil types with varying water vapor ...

Peak-ring structure and kinematics from a multi-disciplinary study of the Schrödinger impact basin

Nature Communications, 2016
Impact basins on the Moon are considered as the best landing sites for the recovery of information about the lunar interior. To inform future lunar missions, Kringet al.

A 3D hybrid simulation study of the electromagnetic field distributions in the lunar wake [PDF]

, 2011
As a consequence of its lack of a thick atmosphere and an ionosphere, the interaction of the solar wind with the Moon is characterized by the direct impact of the solar wind on its sunward hemisphere.

First two-way laser ranging to a lunar orbiter: infrared observations from the Grasse station to LRO’s retro-reflector array

Earth, Planets and Space, 2020
We present the results of the first series of successful two-way laser ranging experiments from a ground station, the Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) station in Grasse, France, to a spacecraft at lunar distance, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO).

Utilization of a meteorological satellite as a space telescope: the lunar mid-infrared spectrum as seen by Himawari-8

Earth, Planets and Space, 2022
The Japanese meteorological satellite Himawari-8 has captured the Earth’s atmosphere and stars, planets, and the Moon in its field of view, enabling us to capture their spectroscopy with 16 bands from visible to mid-infrared wavelengths.

Extensive Intrusive Magmatism in the Lunar Farside Apollo and South Pole–Aitken Basins, Chang’e-6 Landing Site

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Lunar igneous activities, including intrusive magmatism and extrusive volcanism, and their products contain significant information about the lunar interior and its thermal state. Their distribution is asymmetrical on the nearside and farside, reflecting
