Material Property Sensitivity of Light Curve Attitude Estimation for the Lunar Trailblazer
Abstract The Lunar Trailblazer (LTB) spacecraft launched on 27 February 2025, toward a planned low‐lunar orbit. Eleven hours into its mission, contact with Trailblazer was lost, and recovery efforts began. Estimating the orientation and angular velocity state of Trailblazer was central for recovery to determine whether and when the vehicle could be ...

Mission Design and Early Navigation Operations for the Lunar Trailblazer Mission
Abstract Lunar Trailblazer is a smallsat mission launched on 27 February 2025 as a secondary payload with the Intuitive Machines IM‐2 mission. After insertion into a near‐polar circular orbit around the Moon, the mission's goal was to search and characterize lunar water, primarily looking for ice in permanently shadowed craters and water bound in ...

Surface Geology and Evolution of Asteroid Ryugu: Insights From Hayabusa2 Global Mapping
Abstract Rubble‐pile asteroids, characterized by loose aggregates of debris held together by gravity, represent both a significant planetary hazard and a key to understanding planetesimal formation. Geologic mapping of these bodies provides essential insights into their origins, evolution, and surface processes.
