Multiple sources of water preserved in impact glasses from Chang'e-5 lunar soil. [PDF]

Sci Adv
The existence of molecular H2O and evolution of solar wind–derived water on the lunar surface remain controversial. We report that large amounts of OH and molecular H2O related to solar wind and other multiple sources are preserved in impact glasses from

Simulation of Drilling Temperature Rise in Frozen Soil of Lunar Polar Region Based on Discrete Element Theory

Aerospace, 2023
As the frozen soil in the South Pole region of the Moon is an important water resource, the operation of drilling and retrieving samples of the frozen soil in this region will be a crucial task for us to accomplish in future deep-space exploration. Thus,

Implantation of Earth's Atmospheric Ions Into the Nearside and Farside Lunar Soil: Implications to Geodynamo Evolution

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020
Earth's present dipolar magnetic field extends into the interplanetary space and interacts with the solar wind, forming a magnetosphere filled up with charged particles mostly originating from the Earth's atmosphere.

Sub-microscopic magnetite and metallic iron particles formed by eutectic reaction in Chang'E-5 lunar soil. [PDF]

Nat Commun, 2022
Ferric iron as well as magnetite are rarely found in lunar samples, and their distribution and formation mechanisms on the Moon have not been well studied. Here, we discover sub-microscopic magnetite particles in Chang’E-5 lunar soil.

Investigating the microwave heating behaviour of lunar soil simulant JSC-1A at different input powers. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2021
For a sustainable human presence on the Moon, it is critical to develop technologies that could utilise the locally available resources (a.k.a. in situ resource utilisation or ISRU) for habitat construction.

Polycyclic aromatics in the Chang’E 5 lunar soils [PDF]

Nature Communications
Polycyclic aromatics are ubiquitous in the interstellar medium and meteorites, yet the search for lunar polycyclic aromatics remains a significant challenge. Here, we analyze Chang’E-5 lunar soil samples, revealing polycyclic aromatic concentrations of 5.
