The density of the lunar surface soil [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research, 1968
Until the landing of the Surveyor 1 spacecraft on the moon, it had been inferred from earth-based optical, thermal, radio, and radar observations that the surface f the moon consisted of material of low-bulk density (less than 1 g/cm^3) and high porosity.

Noble gases and nitrogen in material from asteroid Bennu

open access: yesMeteoritics &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.

Microbial Endolithic Community at Meteor Crater

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Postimpact recovery and evolution in response to climate changes produced a modern ecosystem at Meteor Crater dominated by a grassland and woodland of piñon and juniper, which has been used to evaluate floral and megafaunal consequences of impact cratering during the Phanerozoic Eon of complex life.

Slope Stability Analysis and Soil Mechanical Properties of Impact Craters around the Lunar South Pole

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Water ice has been found in the permanently shadowed regions of impact craters around the lunar South Pole, which makes them ideal areas for in situ exploration missions.

Effect of Soil Type on Running Performance of Small Lunar Rover

open access: yesAerospace
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 ...

Unifying Retaria Research: A Common Framework for Studying Foraminifera and Radiolaria

open access: yesBioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 6, June 2026.
Research on Foraminifera and Radiolaria has predominantly focused on their fossil remains. This synthesis identifies the “Big Five” disciplines of a unified Retaria research: diversity and evolution, ecology, life cycles, and ecosystem roles, highlighting this lineage as a model system for understanding life's resilience in a rapidly changing planet ...

The use of jet penetrators for movement in the lunar soil

open access: yesINCAS Bulletin, 2019
The possibility of using penetrators for researching the subsurface layers of the moon is considered. Possible options for launching such penetrators are indicated, from the way the launch is carried out depends on the depth of penetration into the ...
