Reconfiguration of Mercury's Exosphere During Strong Space Weather Events

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Mercury is exposed to various space weathering processes, which alter the surface and cause emission of atoms and molecules into the exosphere. The exosphere thus allows remote insights into the surface composition and erosion processes, with the emission of refractory elements such as Ca and Mg typically being dominated by micrometeoroid ...

Control of spacecraft formation flying around asteroids [PDF]

, 2021
There exist thousands of different minerals and other possible resources out in space. To exploit these resources and to further expand our knowledge of the universe, planetary exploration has opened new gates towards mankind. There are more than one hundred thousand designated asteroids located inside the asteroid belt.

Simulating Bouncing Packets Driven by Ducted Lightning‐Generated Whistlers: Comparison With SAMPEX Observations

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Bouncing packets are quasi‐periodic microbursts separated by the electron bounce period. Solar Anomalous and Magnetospheric Particle Explorer observations revealed relativistic (>1 MeV) inner‐belt bouncing packets with “crown,” “decaying,” and “flat” envelopes.

Substorm Effects on Chorus Emissions Modulated by ULF Waves

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Although cross‐scale wave‐particle interactions play a critical role in energy transfer in the magnetosphere, the influence of geomagnetic activity on the physical mechanisms involved remains unclear. In this study, we investigate this question by analyzing Van Allen Probes‐A observations of an event occurring on 25 July 2016.

Bridged h‐BN Nanosheets Coatings: Simultaneous Shielding Atomic‐Oxygen Irradiation and Achieving Superior Friction Performance

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 50, 7 September 2026.
ABSTRACT To confront extreme space environments, a combination of inorganic and organic coatings can provide a pathway for offering highly durable radiation resistance and anti‐friction simultaneously. Herein, a strong interfacial 3D hydrogen‐bonding network is designed to create robust hexagonal boron nitride (h‐BN) based polymer coatings with ...

Distributed attitude consensus of spacecraft formation flying

Journal of Systems Engineering and Electronics, 2013
The consensus problem of the distributed attitude synchronization in the spacecraft formation flying is considered. Firstly, the attitude dynamics of a rigid body spacecraft is described by modified Rodriguez parameters (MRPs). Then global stable distributed cooperative attitude control laws are proposed for different cases.
