Pilbara Craton Soil as A Possible Lunar Soil Simulant for Civil Engineering Applications [PDF]
Materials, 2019 Recent fast development in lunar exploration exposed a lack of lunar soil simulant (LSS) fit for civil engineering applications. Permanent human presence on the Moon will be associated with significant construction efforts. Adequate technologies and building materials have to be developed and tested prior to setting the actual building site on the Moon.

Monte Carlo Simulation of 3D Cloud Radiance Distributions Affected by Ground‐Based Lighting
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.Abstract Satellite observations of artificial light sources at night are increasing. Clouds, as the most important radiative modulators in the Earth‐atmosphere system, significantly influence the observed values and spatial distribution of the artificial light coming from the ground.

Crater Observing Bioinspired Rolling Articulator (COBRA)
Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.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.

VELOX – A Demonstration Facilility for Lunar Oxygen Extraction in a Laboratory Environment [PDF]
, 2010 The ultimate goal of a permanent human presence on the Moon is discussed intensively within the global lunar community. Obviously, such an effort poses stringent demands not only on the technology but also on logistics, especially considering the ...

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.Autonomous planetary rovers operate in GPS‐denied, low‐texture, crater‐rich environments where traditional SLAM‐based navigation systems suffer from localization drift and unreliable obstacle handling. To address these challenges, this work proposes a Space‐ROS–based autonomous navigation framework integrating ROS2 with the NAV2 stack, RTAB‐Map visual ...

Electrolysis of simulated lunar melts [PDF]
Electrolysis of molten lunar soil or rock is examined as an attractive means of wresting useful raw materials from lunar rocks. It requires only hat to melt the soil or rock and electricity to electrolyze it, and both can be developed from solar power ...

A Simplified Ordinary Differential Equation for the Surface Temperature of Airless Bodies
Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract In this work, we develop simplified surface temperature models for spherical bodies with insignificant atmospheres, able to produce a latitude/longitude temperature map that includes seasonality effects. We start from the commonly employed depth‐dependent model by Spencer et al. (1989, https://doi.org/10.1016/0019‐1035(89)90182‐6) based on the
