Long-term reduced lunar mantle revealed by Chang’e-5 basalt Open
The redox state of a planetary mantle affects its thermal evolution. The redox evolution of lunar mantle, however, remains unclear due to limited oxygen fugacity (fO2) constraints from young lunar samples. Here, we report vanadium (V) oxyb…
A moderate-Ti lunar mare soil simulant: IGG-01 Open
Lunar soil simulants play a crucial role in scientific research, payload tests and in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) experiments. However, the currently available lunar soil simulants are either low in TiO2 content (≤3 wt%) or high in Ti…
Oven Design for In‐Situ Thermal Extraction of Volatiles From Lunar Regolith Open
Extracting volatiles from lunar regolith for analysis or utilization is one of the most important aspects of future lunar exploration. However, the low thermal conductivity of lunar regolith poses a challenge. Here, we conduct simulations …
Comparison of laboratory and in situ reflectance spectra of Chang’e-5 lunar soil Open
Context. Reflectance spectra provide essential information on the mineralogical composition of a planetary surface. However, the spectral characteristics of lunar soil are significantly influenced by its photometric properties, coupled wit…
