On the Feasibility of Laser Satellite Communications from the Martian Surface

IAF Space Communications and Navigation Symposium
Free space optical (FSO) communication using lasers is a rapidly developing field in telecommunications that can offer advantages over traditional radio frequency technology. For example, optical laser links may allow transmissions at far higher data rates, require less operating power and smaller systems and have a smaller risk of interception.

Numerical Simulations of 3D Scattering Structures Reveal Systematic Underestimation of Marsquake Magnitudes

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Determining marsquake magnitudes is essential for assessing seismic activity on Mars, yet previous estimates neglect three‐dimensional (3D) scattering effects. The exceptionally long‐lasting coda of the largest recorded marsquake, S1222a, provides a unique opportunity to quantify how crustal heterogeneities affect waveform propagation and ...

Water-driven Accessible Potential Karstic Caves in Hebrus Valles, Mars: Implications for Subsurface Habitability

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The Hebrus Valles region on Mars exhibits geomorphological indicators of past aqueous activity, such as fluvial channels and aligned sinkholes. While Martian skylights have mostly been linked to volcanic or tectonic origins, caves formed by water ...

GIS analyses of Martian satellite imageries and topographic data

The Journal of the Geological Society of Japan, 2012
A large amount of satellite imagery is now available for the surface of Mars; this imagery has spatial resolutions up to 25 cm/pixel, and a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) has been constructed to allow the analysis of Martian topography. These data are important for studies of geological and geomorphological processes on Mars, and may form the basis of ...

Mechanisms of Degradation in Li‐Ion Batteries Under Low Temperature Exposures

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 71, 3 September 2026.
Low‐temperature exposures, or freeze‐thaw cycles, are observed to significantly accelerate the degradation of Li‐ion batteries. A combination of electrolyte phase separation and mechanochemical stress leads to reversible and irreversible performance losses.

Autonomous control of a reconfigurable constellation of satellites on geostationary orbit with artificial potential fields [PDF]

, 2012
This paper presents a method of controlling a constellation of small satellites in Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) such that the constellation is able to reconfigure - changing the angular position of its members relative to the Earth’s surface in order ...

Stationary flux ropes at the southern terminator of Mars [PDF]

, 2012
Flux ropes have long been observed in the upper atmosphere of Venus, and more recently at Mars. Here we present magnetic field measurements of flux ropes encountered at the southern terminator of Mars by Mars Global Surveyor, and compare them to a flux ...

Analysis of Relative Motion of Collocated Geostationary Satellites with Geometric Constraints [PDF]

, 2013
This paper investigates the design of the relative motion orbits of geostationary satellites in the presence of geometric constraints. A geometric constraint is defined by a sensor's pointing direction and field of view.

The Evolution of Autonomous Systems for Planetary Cave Exploration: A Review

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 6, Page 4094-4115, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The exploration of Subsurface Access Points (SAPs), such as lava tubes on the Moon and Mars, has gained significant interest due to their potential as stable environments shielded from surface radiation and temperature extremes. These sites are considered high‐value targets for detecting water and signs of ancient life, and assessing their ...

A Low‐Power Radioisotope XRF Spectrometer for Detection of Light Elements on Planetary Missions

X-Ray Spectrometry, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 721-729, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Current X‐ray spectrometers for in situ geochemical analysis on planetary missions typically rely either on X‐ray tubes, which demand electrical power and add mass and thermal complexity, or on alpha particle X‐ray spectrometers (APXS) that use rare 244 Cm sources, and come with severe concerns on radiation safety and isotope availability.
