Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

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 ...

Efficient Haptic Rendering of Regolith [PDF]
Driven by the need for physically accurate and haptically convincing models of lunar and planetary regolith for model-mediated teleoperation in space, we present an approach to modelling regolith in an efficient yet realistic way. Model parameters are derived from physical characteristics of the regolith, to render regoliths with different density ...

The importance of Phobos simulants: a review on our current knowledge
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.

Vapor Deposits in the Lunar Regolith [PDF]
Since the Apollo missions, we have emphasized the following points, which are based on theoretical calculations and on laboratory studies of the properties of evaporated silicate deposits and of lunar samples. The mass of vapor generated by impacts on the lunar surface is comparable in magnitude to the mass of impact melt glasses; the physics of impact

Effect of Target Properties on Regolith Production
Based on the measurements of regolith thicknesses on the lunar maria (basalts), the lunar regolith was determined to have accumulated at a rate of about 1 m/Gyr since the era of the late heavy bombardment.

Making parts on Mars: Laser processing of iron contaminated by regolith simulant
Manufacturing pure metals on Mars is challenging due to limited energy resources and unavoidable contamination of raw materials and production equipment with the Martian dust (regolith) resulting in impure materials.

Structure and Formation Mechanism of Lunar Regolith
Lunar regolith is a thin layer of weakly cohesive detrital materials covering the lunar surface. Studies on returned lunar samples have revealed that the lunar regolith mainly consists of fragments of rocks, minerals, breccia, glasses, and agglutinates ...

Development and properties of a magnetic high-titanium lunar regolith simulant IRSM-1
The moon exploration has progressed into the stage of in-situ resource utilization (ISRU). Systematically understanding the unique mechanical response and engineering characteristics of the lunar regolith is crucial for the development and exploitation ...
