Water Vapor Vertical Distribution on Mars After Six Years of TGO/NOMAD Solar Occultations: 1. Global Climatology

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract We present vertical profiles of water vapor obtained during six continuous years of solar occultation observations in the infrared by the Nadir and Occultation for MArs Discovery (NOMAD) instrument on board Trace Gas Orbiter. The retrievals have been performed with an inversion code previously applied to smaller samples of this data set, but ...

JAXA curation for Bennu samples returned by the NASA's OSIRIS‐REx mission

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 182-207, January 2026.
Abstract NASA's OSIRIS‐REx mission successfully collected and returned ~121.6 g of bulk samples from the B‐type, near‐Earth asteroid (101955) Bennu to Earth in September 2023. Upon returning to Earth, the samples were transported to the NASA Johnson Space Center where most of the samples have been stored and processed.

A Review of Hydrophobicity Measurement and Classification Methods for High‐Voltage Insulators

Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Hydrophobicity is a critical property influencing the performance and reliability of high‐voltage insulators, particularly nonceramic types, by mitigating surface contamination and reducing the risk of flashover. This paper presents a comprehensive review of hydrophobicity assessment techniques, spanning traditional laboratory‐based techniques ...

Plasma Acceleration by Magnetic Tension Forces in the Martian Magnetotail: MAVEN Observations

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 24, 28 December 2025.
Abstract The Martian magnetotail is a dynamic region where several processes contribute to plasma acceleration. Here, we analyze ∼5 ${\sim} 5$ years of Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) data to evaluate the role of magnetic tension forces in driving plasma acceleration within current sheets in the tail. Based on magnetic field measurements,

Tidal disruptions of rubble piles: The case of Phobos

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Many small satellites in the Solar System have sub-synchronous orbits, meaning their orbits are decaying due to tidal dissipation. Unless they have substantial material strength, they will eventually tidally disrupt before reaching their planet ...

Maximizing Scientific Exploitation of Raman Spectroscopy With A.C.M.E. (Atmospheric Chamber for Measurements in Environment)

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, Volume 56, Issue 11, Page 1394-1403, November 2025.
Simulated planetary gas detection using the A.C.M.E. chamber and a novel hollow‐core fiber Raman sensor. Controlled atmospheric mixtures were used to evaluate the sensor’s performance, demonstrating its capability to detect gases such as CO₂, O₂, and N₂. The results support the applicability of the HCF‐based Raman sensor in future planetary exploration
