Discovery of a Lunar Cold Spot at Apollo 16's South Ray Crater

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 18, 28 September 2025.
Abstract Lunar cold spots are extensive, ray‐like regions of reduced nighttime temperature surrounding young impact craters. Using improved Diviner temperature maps, we identify a faint cold spot surrounding South Ray crater at the Apollo 16 landing site.

Laser-induced Breakdown Spectroscopy of Ice-regolith Mixtures: Implications for Measurements on Planetary Surfaces

The Planetary Science Journal
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is an analytical technique enabling in situ chemical analysis of planetary surfaces. Its use on the Mars Science Laboratory and Mars 2020 missions has demonstrated the potential for quantifying water in ...

Particle track measurements in lunar regolith breccias [PDF]

Particle track measurements have been reported for 25 (5 percent) of the regolith breccias in the collection; they have been reported for 16 breccias (30%) in the reference suite.

High-resolution Earth-based lunar radar studies: Applications to lunar resource assessment [PDF]

The lunar regolith will most likely be a primary raw material for lunar base construction and resource extraction. High-resolution radar observations of the Moon provide maps of radar backscatter that have intensity variations generally controlled by the

Numerical Study of Cone Penetration Tests in Lunar Regolith for Strength Index

Applied Sciences
The cohesive properties of lunar regolith, combined with a low-gravity environment, result in it having a distinct mechanical behavior from sandy soil on Earth.
