Different Frontier, Same Legal Script? On the Course of Replicating Earth's Patterns in Space

The Modern Law Review, EarlyView.
As states and private actors expand their activities in outer space, the international legal framework governing this domain risks extending longstanding structures of global inequality beyond Earth. This article examines how international space law, shaped by a broader disciplinary pattern of reactive legal development, is poised to reproduce ...

Enhanced Topography Models for Selected Lunar South Pole Regions with Shape-from-Shading

The Planetary Science Journal
High-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) are an important resource both for lunar science and for human and robotic exploration. Photoclinometry, or Shape-from-Shading (SfS), is particularly well adapted to producing highly resolved DEMs even ...

Distribution, Evolution, and Origin of the Lunar Energetic Particles

Space: Science & Technology
Various kinds of energetic particles can directly and continuously interact with the lunar surface since there is no atmosphere and no global magnetic field on the Moon. How energetic particles distribute on the Moon and what are their roles in the space

Rendezvous in Space: Tech Diplomacy and the Commercial Space Era—A Study of Rendezvous and Docking Technologies and Space Exploration Co‐Operation Since the Cold War

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT On‐orbit rendezvous and docking constitute one of the most technically challenging activities in the history of space activities. As space endeavours mature to crewed missions, space rendezous and docking technologies (RDT) emerge as an area of technological innovation critical to advances in future crewed space exploration.

Multiplying Elements of Fragmentation? Polycentrism, the Launcher Crisis and the Future of Europe in Space

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explores the current controversies surrounding the European Ariane launcher and its implications for the future of European space governance. The Ariane program, historically a symbol of European technopolitical integration, faces mounting challenges due to delays, rising costs and increasing competition from private actors like ...

Lunar Crustal Magnetization Sourced via the Delivery of Iron-rich Ejecta from Basin-forming Impacts

The Planetary Science Journal
The reason for the prevalence of crustal magnetic anomalies within a lunar crust composed of materials that do not retain strong magnetization remains an unresolved question in lunar science.

Punchline with(out) purpose: Integrating research on instructional humour and seductive details

British Journal of Educational Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction We integrated research on instructional humour and seductive details to investigate when affiliative course‐related humour is effective or rather ineffective for learning. We assumed that instructional humour without a cognitive function (irrelevant humour) would have detrimental effects on learning performance resembling the ...

A New Detailed Global Map of Lunar Light Plains

The Planetary Science Journal
Lunar light plains (LPs) are globally distributed, smooth and flat geologic units occurring in crater floors and topographic lows, similar in morphology to mare basalts, but with moderate to high albedo.

Transient Hyperparathyroidism and Severe Intrauterine Osteopenia Linked to Novel Homozygous TRPV6 Deletion

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Context Placental calcium (Ca2+) transport is essential for foetal bone mineralisation and development, as well as for Ca2+ homoeostasis. Rare mutations in transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) 6 of the infant cause insufficient maternal‐foetal Ca2+ transport through the placenta.
