BepiColombo has a larger and in many ways more capable suite of instruments relevant for
determination of the topographic, physical, chemical and mineralogical properties of …

Just as the use of new tools revolutionized lunar science in 1610 (Galileo's telescope), 1840
(photography), and 1960s–1970s and 1990s (over 45 robotic and human missions to the …

Abstract Chang'e-5, China's first lunar sample return mission, is targeted to land in northern
Oceanus Procellarum, within a region selected on the basis of 1) its location away from the …

We present an improved lunar digital elevation model (DEM) covering latitudes within±60°,
at a horizontal resolution of 512 pixels per degree (∼ 60 m at the equator) and a typical …

Spacecraft-to-spacecraft tracking observations from the Gravity Recovery and Interior
Laboratory (GRAIL) have been used to construct a gravitational field of the Moon to …

Observations from the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission indicate a
marked change in the gravitational signature of lunar impact structures at the morphological …

Abstract The Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission has sampled lunar
gravity with unprecedented accuracy and resolution. The lunar GM, the product of the …

Water is perhaps the most important molecule in the solar system, and determining its origin
and distribution in planetary interiors has important implications for understanding the …

The lunar gravity field and topography provide a way to probe the interior structure of the
Moon. Prior to the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission, knowledge of …

The Moon possesses a clear dichotomy in geological processes between the nearside and
farside hemispheres. The most pronounced expressions of this dichotomy are the strong …
