Spark plasma sintering using siliceous waste concrete powder

International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology, Volume 22, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Abstract Spark plasma sintering (SPS) was performed using siliceous waste concrete powder for the effective utilization of waste concrete. The sintering temperature of the SPS compacts was optimized to improve their mechanical properties. Siliceous waste concrete powder was prepared using a pot‐milling procedure of waste concrete.

Effect of Soil Type on Running Performance of Small Lunar Rover

Aerospace
It is very easy for a small lunar rover to slip on the regolith of the lunar surface and become stuck. Previous studies have quantitatively evaluated the effects of wheel geometry, such as elliptical or eccentric wheels, on the performance of a rover ...

A Study Demonstrating That Using Gravitational Offset to Prepare Extraterrestrial Mobility Missions Is Misleading

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 42, Issue 7, Page 3772-3794, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Recently, there has been a surge of international interest in extraterrestrial exploration targeting the Moon, Mars, the moons of Mars, and various asteroids. This contribution discusses how current state‐of‐the‐art Earth‐based testing for designing rovers and landers for these missions currently leads to overly optimistic conclusions about ...

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.

The Utility of a Hyperspectral Infrared Imager for Crewed Exploration of Planetary Bodies

Earth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Planetary analog simulations are a powerful exercise for understanding the utility of deployable instruments, their operational protocols, and the visualization of data products during ExtraVehicular Activities (EVAs). This paper presents results of a field campaign by the NASA Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute (SSERVI ...

Mineralogically Diverse and Salt‐Rich Regolith in Jezero Crater Characterized Using X‐Ray Spectroscopy

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract The Planetary Instrument for X‐ray Lithochemistry (PIXL) onboard the Perseverance rover has characterized the composition of Martian regolith at a scale of hundreds of microns using micro‐focus X‐ray fluorescence spectroscopy. PIXL data reveal a diverse population of regolith grains with distinct spectral, chemical, and crystallographic ...

Elastic Properties of Returned Samples From Asteroid (162173) Ryugu

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract The successful sample return from asteroid (162173) Ryugu by Hayabusa2 has contributed to our understanding of the solar system evolution. Over the course of the initial sample analysis, various measurements were conducted, such as mineralogical observation, chemical analysis, and mechanical property measurement.

Impact Resurfacing of the Artemis Exploration Zone: Sample Locations for Primordial Crust and South Pole‐Aitken (SPA) Ejecta

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Regolith samples from the lunar south pole are expected to contain material from the ancient lunar crust and potentially the uppermost mantle, excavated by the South Pole‐Aitken (SPA) impact. In this study, we aim to understand the impact resurfacing processes following the SPA impact and the subsequent redistribution of primordial crust and ...
