The rapid progress in space exploration, mining, and tourism has been fuelled by both
public and private sector investments. The latter has led to the need to reduce manufacturing …

As the cornerstone mission of the fourth phase of the Chinese Lunar Exploration Program,
Chang'E-7 (CE-7) was officially approved, and implementation started in 2022, including a …

We present new high-resolution topographic models of 4 high-priority lunar south pole
landing sites based exclusively on the laser altimetry data acquired by the Lunar Orbiter …

We use high-resolution altimetry data obtained by the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter
instrument onboard the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter to characterize present illumination …

The Mini‐RF radar instrument on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft mapped
both lunar poles in two different RF wavelengths (complete map** at 12.6 cm S‐band and …

We introduce a new technique derived from the classical Stokes parameters for analysis of
polarimetric radar astronomical data. This decomposition is based on m (the degree of …

Abstract The Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter
has been acquiring visible and infrared radiance measurements of the Moon for nearly 10 …

Volatiles including water on the Moon has been one of the most interesting scientific objects
for decades. In this study, we systematically introduced a concept for China's Chang'E− 7 …

The last decades have been marked by increasing evidence for the presence of near-
surface volatiles at the lunar poles. Enhancement in hydrogen near both poles, UV and …

We produced 400× 400 km Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) of the lunar poles from Lunar
Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) ranging measurements. To achieve consistent, high …
