Development and characterization of a regional lunar soil simulant for emirates lunar missions

International Journal of Mining Science and Technology
Lunar soil simulants (LSS) have been pivotal in the success of past and current lunar missions. They have enhanced the design of lander and rover wheels through interaction studies on the lunar testbed under simulated environmental conditions.

Noble gases and nitrogen in material from asteroid Bennu

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We report the elemental and isotopic abundances of all stable noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon) in eight particles from asteroid Bennu returned by NASA's OSIRIS‐REx mission. We also report nitrogen abundances and isotopic ratios that were analyzed alongside neon and argon in four additional Bennu particles.

Modeling the Reflectance of the Lunar Regolith by a New Method Combining Monte Carlo Ray Tracing and Hapke’s Model with Application to Chang’E-1 IIM Data

The Scientific World Journal, 2014
In this paper, we model the reflectance of the lunar regolith by a new method combining Monte Carlo ray tracing and Hapke’s model. The existing modeling methods exploit either a radiative transfer model or a geometric optical model. However, the measured

The fall of the Haag (LL4‐6) chondrite breccia—Just 8 years after the nearby fall Stubenberg (LL6)

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract On October 24, 2024, an impressive fireball was visible over Austria. After the possible strewn field was calculated, the first sample of the Haag meteorite, with a mass of 8.76 g, was discovered on November 2, 2024, 8 days after the fireball event. Four more samples were found afterward putting the total sample mass at about 151 g.

Measurement and Uncertainty Analysis of Lunar Soil Water Content via Heating Flux Method

Aerospace, 2023
According to the big impact hypothesis, the moon should be very dry. However, more and more evidence from the remote sensing of the moon in recent years indicates that there is a lot of water in the moon’s polar regions.

Oxychlorine Species on Mars: A Review

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Oxychlorine species (mainly perchlorate and chlorate) have been identified at multiple locations on the surface of Mars by both orbiter and in situ rovers. They have also been found in martian meteorites. Cl‐isotopes in meteoritic minerals suggest that an oxychlorine cycle has been operating on the martian surface for the last ∼4 billion years.

Calculation of the Influence Zone for Planetary Sampling Based on DEM Simulation

International Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2021
In the design of planetary sampling devices, calculating the reaction force acting on the sampling devices is crucial. According to related research, the influence zone caused by sampling plays an important role in calculating the reaction force.

A Novel Self‐Supervised Deep Learning Inversion Method Incorporating a Fast Forward Network for Transient Electromagnetic Data

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 2, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Deep learning (DL) is an increasingly popular method for inverting the transient electromagnetic (TEM) data. Currently, DL‐based inversion for TEM data primarily employs supervised learning methods that rely on labeled data sets to train the network.

Spectral interpretation of late-stage mare basalt mineralogy unveiled by Chang’E-5 samples

Nature Communications, 2022
Laboratory spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction analyses on the Chang’E-5 lunar soil samples have demonstrated that the spectral features of lunar late-stage mare basalts are representative of iron-rich high-Ca pyroxene rather than olivine.
