Lunar Trailblazer Spacecraft Tracking and Mission Recovery Attempt: Characterization of Status and Behavior of a Non‐Cooperative Object in Cis‐Lunar Space

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Unexpectedly following launch, the Lunar Trailblazer mission experienced software anomalies that led it to orient solar panels away from the sun and lose communication with Earth. This paper describes efforts to determine the spacecraft state and attempt recovery of the mission's science at the Moon.

Utilizing NASA's Operation IceBridge Airborne SWE and Precipitation Products to Assess Surface Snow Over Alaskan Glaciers

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Accurately estimating Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) in glacierized regions is critical for glacier modeling and mass balance analysis yet remains challenging due to sparse observations and uncertainties in precipitation products. The objectives are twofold: (a) assess how well three widely used precipitation datasets—Stage IV (a radar–gauge ...

Excitation of Large Amplitude Compressional ULF Waves in the Magnetosphere by Solar Wind Pressure Spikes and IMF Southward Turning

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract We present a case study of large amplitude, compressional Pc5 waves observed by GOES 13 and 15 at geosynchronous orbit near noon. These waves were excited near the arrival time of two consecutive solar wind dynamic pressure spikes at the magnetopause, the second of which was associated with a large and rapid southward turning of the ...

The Length of Martian Crater Rays and Their Relation to Lunar Cold Spots

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Impact‐generated crater rays are well‐documented on the Moon, with most appearing as high‐albedo streaks extending radially from a crater's center. On Mars, however, crater rays are significantly rarer and discernible only through thermal imaging due to their lower thermal inertia compared to surrounding terrain.

Super‐Resolution of Planetary Images Based on Generative Adversarial Network

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Currently, satellite imagery serves as the primary means of observing terrestrial planets such as the Mars, the Moon, and Mercury. Enhancing the resolution and quality of these images can provide more detailed insights into planetary surfaces. However, improvements in image quality are often limited by the constraints of sensor technology and ...
