Effects of wheel width on running performance of four-wheeled small lunar rover

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu
As future lunar habitation plans progress, the importance of landing-based exploration is increasing. Small lunar rovers are considered effective for such missions due to their low deployment risk and cost. However, these rovers are prone to slippage and

Venting and Outgassing Simulations of Pressurized Lunar Modules: Contamination of the Lunar Environment

open access: yesCoRR
One objective of Artemis science is to determine the impact human activities have on the lunar environment, which might compromise science objectives and measurements. We perform a preliminary analysis of the contamination associated with airlock venting and outgassing from a prototype lunar-module geometry intended to host astronauts on the lunar ...

Investigation of the Thermal Conductivity of Dry and Icy Lunar Regolith Simulants

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract This study investigates the thermal conductivity of lunar regolith simulants, both with and without the addition of ice. A novel icy regolith simulant was developed, combining microgranular water ice particles and lunar highlands simulant LHS‐1.

Development of Standardized Lunar Regolith Simulant Materials

open access: yes, 2006
Lunar exploration requires studies using standardized testing procedures. Previous lunar simulants focused on physical aspects of the lunar regolith. Renewed lunar exploration requires standardized lunar regolith simulant (SLRS) materials that simulate ...

Laboratory simulation of the lunar magnetosphere

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 1977
The magnetic field disturbance created by the impingement of a supermagnetosonic collision‐free plasma upon a hollow, electrically nonconducting body (lunella) has been studied in the laboratory using a plasma accelerator. Diamagnetic currents on the boundary of the downstream cavity which is formed are the source of these disturbances which fringe out
