In the expeditionary sciences, spatiotemporally varying environments — hydrothermal plumes, algal blooms, lava flows, or animal migrations — are ubiquitous. Mobile robots are uniquely well-suited to study these dynamic, mesoscale […]
In unstructured environments the best path is not always the shortest, but needs to consider various objectives like energy efficiency, risk of failure or scientific outcome.
Editor’s note: Right now NASA is planning the spacesuit and sensor technology needed for astronauts to operate during prolonged AwayTeam sorties to study astrogeology on the lunar surface. While the […]
We analyzed twelve Apollo 17 samples through the Apollo Next Generation Sample Analysis (ANGSA) program to determine the abundances of a variety of compound classes, including amino acids, aldehydes, ketones, […]
The overall goal of this virtual workshop on August 20, 2024 is to bring together scientific and technical professionals to suggest and discuss lunar science priority activities related to physical […]
Editor’s note: the procedures, new advanced spacesuits, analytical instruments, imaging and communications gear, and other tools associated with Artemis activities on the lunar surface will directly impact the capabilities that […]
For decades, scientists have pondered the mystery of the moon’s ancient magnetism. Based on analyses of lunar samples, its now-deceased magnetic field may have been active for more than 1.5 […]
To prepare for exploring the Moon during NASA’s Artemis campaign, the agency is conducting a week-long field test in the lunar-like landscape of San Francisco Volcanic Field near Flagstaff, Arizona […]
The trainees of the ESA PANGAEA2023 course focus on the use of some of the Electronic FieldBook tools suite, under the guidance by the course instructors.
