Sensitivity analysis of polar orbiter motion to lunar viscoelastic tidal deformation
We investigate the impact of viscoelastic tidal deformation of the Moon on the motion of a polar orbiter. The dissipative effects in the Moon’s...

Macro- and micro-mechanical behavior of CSU-LRS-1 lunar soil simulant under true triaxial loading path
In this paper, a series of true triaxial tests with different intermediate principal stress ratios are conducted on both the lunar soil simulant and...

3D DEM analysis of the bearing behavior of lunar soil simulant under different loading plates
The foundation of a lunar habitation may be either smooth or rough with different shapes in the light that various concepts of the lunar base have...

Evidence for lunar tide effects in Earth’s plasmasphere
Tides are universal and affect spatially distributed systems, ranging from planetary to galactic scales. In the Earth–Moon system, effects caused by...

Review of research on lunar dust dynamics
Lunar dust particles are generated by hypervelocity impacts of interplanetary micrometer meteoroids onto the surface of the Moon, which seriously...

Asteroid Kamo‘oalewa’s journey from the lunar Giordano Bruno crater to Earth 1:1 resonance
Among the nearly 30,000 known near-Earth asteroids (NEAs), only tens possess Earth co-orbital characteristics with semi-major axes ~1 au. In...

Updated lunar cratering chronology model with the radiometric age of Chang’e-5 samples
Lunar chronology models are built by associating the radiometric ages of samples returned by the Apollo and Luna missions measured in the laboratory...

PETREL19: a new numerical solution of planetary and lunar ephemeris
The aim of this work is to develop a new numerical ephemeris of the Sun, the eight planets, the Pluto and the Moon. We first construct a dynamical...
