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.

Simulation of Lunar Soil With Irregularly Shaped, Crushable Grains: Effects of Grain Shapes on the Mechanical Behaviors [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2019
One of the challenges to overcome in Moon mining operations, such as soil handling, drilling, excavation, and wheeled movement, is understanding the mechanical behaviors of lunar soil, which is composed of grains characterized by highly irregular shapes.

Space weathering on the lunar nearside and farside constrained from Si isotopes [PDF]

Nature Communications
Over long timescales, space weathering processes can modify the compositions of surface materials on the Moon. To assess the effects of space weathering of lunar soils, we study Si isotopes of Chang’E-5 (CE-5) and Chang’E-6 (CE-6) returned samples, and ...

Nature of the lunar far-side samples returned by the Chang'E-6 mission. [PDF]

Natl Sci Rev
The Chang'E-6 (CE-6) mission successfully achieved return of the first samples from the far side of the Moon. The sampling site of CE-6 is located in the South Pole-Aitken (SPA) basin—the largest, deepest and oldest impact basin on the Moon. The 1935.3 g
