The importance of Phobos simulants: a review on our current knowledge
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023 Phobos, a satellite of Mars, was successfully studied by flyby, orbiter, and landing missions to the Red Planet, but several questions remain about its origin, composition, and relationship to Mars.

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2014 A lunar long duration method which utilizes a characteristic of a very low thermal conductivity of lunar regolith has been proposed. The principle of this method is to put heater in desired depth of the regolith and heat up the regolith layer during ...

The collisional evolution of undifferentiated asteroids and the formation of chondritic meteoroids [PDF]
, 2016 Most meteorites are fragments from recent collisions experienced in the asteroid belt. In such a hyper-velocity collision, the smaller collision partner is destroyed, whereas a crater on the asteroid is formed or it is entirely disrupted, too.

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022 Boulders are an important material in debris flow and their source is coupled with spheroidal weathering profiles that produce corestones. The goal of this work was to establish the geochemical transformations that produced corestones and distinguished ...

Measurements of thermal properties of icy Mars regolith analogs [PDF]
, 2012 In a series of laboratory experiments, we measure thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity, and heat capacity of icy regolith created by vapor deposition of water below its triple point and in a low pressure atmosphere.

Hypotheses for near-surface exchange of methane on Mars [PDF]
, 2016 The Curiosity rover recently detected a background of 0.7 ppb and spikes of 7 ppb of methane on Mars. This in situ measurement reorients our understanding of the Martian environment and its potential for life, as the current theories do not entail any ...

DEM simulation of soil-tool interaction under extraterrestrial environmental effects [PDF]
, 2017 In contrast to terrestrial environment, the harsh lunar environment conditions include lower gravity acceleration, ultra-high vacuum and high (low) temperature in the daytime (night-time).

Evidence of space weathering in regolith breccias II: Asteroidal regolith breccias [PDF]
Meteoritics & Planetary Science, 2010 Space weathering products, such as agglutinates and nanophaase iron-bearing rims are easily preserved through lithifcation in lunar regolith breccias, thus such products, if produced, should be preserved in asteroidal regotith breccias as well. A study of representative regolith breecia meteorites, Fayetteville (H4) and Kapoeta (howardite), was ...
