In this work, a dynamic model is proposed to simulate the drilling and steering process of an autonomous burrowing mole to access scientific samples from the deep subsurface of the Moon. The locomotive module is idealized as a rigid rod. The characterist...

The collection of lunar regolith with complete stratigraphic information is the key to analyzing the evolution and composition of the moon. To keep each sample?s stratification for further analysis, a sampling method called flexible-tube coring has been ...

The plume-surface interaction that occurs as a result of a variable-thrust engine exhaust plume impinging on soil during landings is critical for future lunar mission design. Unique lunar environmental properties, such as low gravity, high vacuum, and th...

Chemical and electrical thrusters are generally utilized to control the attitude and orbit of spacecraft in aerospace. When they are firing, the exhaust expands into the vacuum environment, known as the vacuum plume. The plume flow can collide with space...

This study examines the history of the paradigm concerning a lunar (or solar-system-wide) terminal cataclysm (also called ?Late Heavy Bombardment? or LHB), a putative, brief spike in impacts at ~3.9 Ga ago, preceded by low impact rates. We examine origin...
