Resources intrinsic to the lunar environment, the abundant and oxide rich surface regolith
and local water ice reserves, can be processed in order to liberate O 2 and H 2 gases for …

The Moon is generally depleted in volatile elements and this depletion extends to the
surface where the most abundant mineral, anorthite, features< 6 ppm H 2 O. Presumably the …

Widespread hydration was detected on the lunar surface through observations of a
characteristic absorption feature at 3 µm by three independent spacecraft,–. Whether the …

Solar wind implantation is thought to be one of the primary mechanisms in the formation of
water (OH/H2O) on the surface of the Moon and possibly on the surface of other airless …

The topics of lofted dust, ejected atomic and molecular species, and plasma interactions at
the Moon have made revolutionary strides since the last 'New Views of the Moon'review in …

It has long been recognised (eg, Ehricke 1985; Spudis 1996, 2016; Duke et al. 2006;
Benaroya 2010; Kornuta et al. 2019) that the Moon has the potential to play a pivotal role in …

NASA's Europa Clipper mission is designed to provide a diversity of measurements to
further our understanding of the potential habitability of this intriguing ocean world. The …

Abstract 3D-printing of geopolymers produced from lunar regolith is an interesting option for
space in situ habitats. In this study, the influence of the severe lunar environmental …

Water ice, abundant in the outer solar system, is volatile in the inner solar system. On the
largest airless bodies of the inner solar system (Mercury, the Moon, Ceres), water can be an …

Discovery of water in lunar samples and on the lunar surface has opened a new chapter in
lunar exploration. In addition to their potential utility, water and other volatile compounds can …
