Crater Observing Bioinspired Rolling Articulator (COBRA)

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Crater Observing Bio‐inspired Rolling Articulator (COBRA) is a modular, snake‐inspired robot that addresses the mobility challenges of extraterrestrial exploration sites such as Shackleton Crater. Incorporating snake‐like gaits and tumbling locomotion, COBRA navigates both uneven surfaces and steep crater walls.

Poly(Imide‐Siloxane) Copolymer Materials for Lunar Dust Mitigation: Synthesis and Characterization of Surface Properties

Macromolecular Symposia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dust poses a significant threat to any equipment operating on the Moon, particularly for long‐term explorations. The development of efficient dust mitigation solutions is therefore critical for the success of lunar missions. In this work, fully aromatic and fluorinated polyimide (PI) and poly(imide‐dimethylsiloxane) (PIDMS) copolymers are ...
