Investigating the Geotechnical Properties of the Lunar South Pole with NASA VIPER’s Mobility System

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
The NASA Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER) is capable of assessing the geotechnical properties of the lunar south pole’s terrain, specifically as they pertain to terramechanics or the wheel–terrain interaction, combining the rover’s

Sensing Lunar Dust Density Using Radio Science Signals of Opportunity

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Previous lunar missions, such as Surveyor, Apollo, and the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE), have played a pivotal role in advancing our understanding of the lunar exosphere’s dynamics and its relationship with solar wind flux.

Review and Revision of the Lunar Cratering Chronology—Lunar Timescale Part 2

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
Times and rates of planetary surface-modifying processes are crucial for the sequence and correlation of events on planetary bodies. For most planetary surfaces, superposition principles and crater densities are commonly used methods to collect relative ...

Verification and Mitigation of Proton‐Induced Non‐Ionizing Damage in Perovskite Solar Cells for Space Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Metal‐halide perovskite solar cells offer high‐efficiency power for orbital missions but suffer from permanent proton‐induced degradation. This work identifies non‐ionizing energy loss (NIEL) as the primary driver of irreversible failure, inducing atomic displacements and microcracks in the high‐fluence regime. Through energy‐tuned mapping and scalable

Comparative Analysis of Diurnal Thermal Radiation Variation among Lunar Craters of Different Ages Using CE-2 MRM Data

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
Microwave radiometer (MRM) is one of the important payloads on the Chang’e-2 (CE-2) Lunar satellite. In the Chang’e satellite’s observation of the microwave radiation brightness temperature (TB) on the lunar surface, there are some “cold spots” of ...

Morphological and morphometric aspects of the equine aortic valve: New insights for comparative studies in mammals

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract New data on the equine aortic valve obtained using advanced techniques is especially important given the greater availability of animal models for translational research. Here we characterized the morphological and morphometric aspects of the equine aortic valve from 60 healthy hearts collected at equine abattoirs.

Evidence for negative charging of the lunar surface in shadow

open access: yes, 2002
Observations of electron distributions above the shadowed surface of the Moon show energy-dependent loss cones which indicate reflection by both magnetic and electric fields.

Dynamic Secondary Illumination in Permanent Shadows within Artemis III Candidate Landing Regions

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Investigations that can be conducted at the Artemis III candidate landing regions will benefit from the knowledge of the thermal environment within permanently shadowed regions (PSRs). Within PSRs, secondary illumination controls the surface temperature,
