The past two decades of lunar exploration have seen the detection of substantial quantities
of water on the Moon's surface. It has been proposed that a hydrated layer exists at depth in …

We provide the first solar system wide compendium of speleogenic processes and products.
An examination of 15 solar system bodies revealed that six cave‐forming processes occur …

Abstract The Lucy Mission is a NASA Discovery-class mission to send a highly capable and
robust spacecraft to investigate seven primitive bodies near both the L 4 and L 5 Lagrange …

The Dawn spacecraft targeted 4 Vesta, believed to be a remnant intact protoplanet from the
earliest epoch of solar system formation, based on analyses of howardite-eucrite-diogenite …

The surface elemental composition of dwarf planet Ceres constrains its regolith ice content,
aqueous alteration processes, and interior evolution. Using nuclear spectroscopy data …

Abstract The Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security–Regolith
Explorer mission will return a sample to Earth from asteroid (101955) Bennu. Digital terrain …

The mineralogy of Vesta, based on data obtained by the Dawn spacecraft's visible and
infrared spectrometer, is consistent with howardite-eucrite-diogenite meteorites. There are …

Ceres is the largest body in the asteroid belt with a radius of approximately 470 km. In part
due to its large mass, Ceres more closely approaches hydrostatic equilibrium than major …

INTRODUCTION Thermochemical models have predicted that the dwarf planet Ceres has,
to some extent, formed a mantle. Moreover, due to viscous relaxation, these models indicate …

The Dawn mission has provided new evidence strengthening the identification of asteroid
Vesta as the parent body of the howardite, eucrite, and diogenite (HED) meteorites. The …
